Cuvée Joséphine 2008

The Cuvée Joséphine 2008 is Joseph Perrier's prestige cuvée. It is made exclusively from grapes of premiers and grands crus, 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir. It lay in the cellar for seven years before coming to market. The 2008 vintage is regarded as exceptional and built for ageing, so this bottle can also be laid down for further maturation.

The house sees it as its greatest success because it unites vinosity and finesse. The fine gold screen-printed decoration on the bottle suits the ambition of what is inside. Serve it at 10 to 12 degrees in a large white wine glass and give it a little time. It goes with fine fish and delicate white poultry, but can also stand perfectly well on its own.
