Cuvée Royale Brut case

The Cuvée Royale Brut is Joseph Perrier's classic non-vintage house style. It is built from twenty crus across the Montagne de Reims, the Côte des Blancs and the Vitry region. The blend is 35% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 30% Meunier. Three years of ageing give it depth without dulling the freshness. The name recalls the house's supply to the English crown under Queen Victoria and King Edward VII.

The aromatics are clearly citrussy. On the nose you find green apple, mandarin and vineyard peach. On the palate it opens into a fine, elegant length, carried by power and freshness. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass. It is a versatile partner at the table, for instance with fish, seafood or white poultry. This version comes in a gift box.
