Cuvée Royale Brut 2008

The 2008 vintage is regarded as exceptional in Champagne. Joseph Perrier turns it into a Cuvée Royale from premiers and grands crus: 50% Chardonnay, 41% Pinot Noir and 9% Meunier. The wine rested six years in the cellar before leaving the house. The epithet recalls that the house supplied the English crown, including Queen Victoria and King Edward VII.

In the glass you find honey, honeysuckle and white blossom. On the palate it feels open, rich and balanced. Delicate exotic fruit develops into buttery brioche notes. The house sees considerable potential for further development in it. Serve it at 9 to 10 °C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass. It goes well with langoustines, John Dory or goat's cheese.
