Grand Brut étui écobox

If you want to know what Perrier-Jouët tastes like, the Grand Brut is the best place to start. It combines three grape varieties with clearly defined roles: 40 per cent Pinot Noir from grand cru and premier cru sites gives structure, 40 per cent Pinot Meunier brings roundness and fruity notes, and 20 per cent grand cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs adds elegance. The champagne ages in the cellar for considerably longer than the appellation demands. The bottle comes in a étui, a recyclable gift pack.

The glass fills with a golden colour. The nose is fresh, with blossom and fruit. On the palate it starts lively, then turns balanced and round, with a slight vinosity and a pleasant finish. Fish dishes such as carpaccio and white meat make good companions. The ideal serving temperature is 8 to 10 °C, best in a tulip glass, which focuses the aromas without dulling the freshness.
