CHAMPAGNE BRUT BLANC DE BLANCS PERRIER JOUET DESCRIPTION

Perrier Jouet's Brut Blanc de Blancs is a declination that encompasses the vibrant matter and sensuality of Chardonnay, enhanced by the unmistakable style of the maison. A name that has made, and continues to make, the history of Champagne is that of Perrier Jouet, a maison founded in 1811 by the union of Adele Jouet and Pierre Nicolas Perrier, whose pairing gives its name to the winery. The aim, which has always been perfectly successful, is to create a range of extremely approachable products, a fusion of class and smoothness. The cellar is located in Epernay, a commune particularly suited to the production of Pinot Noir, with estates also in the grand crus of Avize and Cramant, where Chardonnay dominates. Memorable interpretations, both for the constant level of quality and for the famous label with floral decoration. A piece of history!

The Brut Blanc de Blancs is made from pure Chardonnay grapes from a selection of the best estate plots. An obsessive attention to the ripening of the grapes, and to their level of quality, is the prologue to a winemaking process that involves the Champenoise method, with an ageing on the lees for a duration of 3 years which gives additional depth to the liquid.

Perrier Jouet's Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs reveals itself in the glass with an extremely fine and persistent perlage, and an intense yellow dress. The nose is a summa of grape variety and interpretative style, and tastes of brioche bread, clarified butter and small pastries that combine with a delicate note of white flowers, in which hawthornappears. The sip is creamy and filling, endowed with a rich matter that does not, however, renounce an enlivening dose of freshness and savouriness. A fascinating and complete bubble, it is an exhilarating expression for lovers of the famous white grape variety. A must!
