Blanc de Blancs

Perrier-Jouët's Blanc de Blancs is made entirely from Chardonnay, the grape that defines the house style. The grapes come from the best sites of the Côte des Blancs. Within the house range, it is the liveliest cuvée. The nose shows elderflower, acacia and citrus fruit. On the palate, freshness meets a fine minerality, with a surprising fullness besides. The dosage is 8 g/l. The Bettane & Desseauve guide gives it 16/20.

A champagne with this much tension is above all suited to the aperitif. But it also goes well with raw fish, oysters, sushi or mild fresh goat's cheese. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C, ideally in a tulip glass, which concentrates the delicate floral aromas and shows off the perlage.
