Vintage Josephine 2012
The Joséphine 2012 is Joseph Perrier's prestige cuvée, made exclusively from Premiers and Grands Crus: 55% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir. It spent seven years in the cellar. The Chardonnay brings minerality, the Pinot Noir structure. The gold-printed bottle makes it a showpiece on the outside as well.
The mousse is fine and the nose complex, with walnut, almond and floral notes. On the palate the champagne is rich, elegant and powerful, with hints of grapes, plums and flowers. It suits a scallop carpaccio just as well as game. Don't serve it too cold, at around 10 to 12 degrees, in a large, rounded white wine glass. The vintage will happily keep ageing.
