Grand Brut Magnum in ecobox

The Grand Brut is the cuvée that conveys the Perrier-Jouët style most clearly: fresh, floral and with drive on the palate. The blend is 40 per cent each of Pinot Noir from grand cru and premier cru vineyards, which provides the framework, and Pinot Meunier, which contributes roundness and fruit. 20 per cent grand cru Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs brings finesse. The ageing time in the cellar is well above the minimum required by the appellation. Here it comes as a magnum in a reusable Ecobox, a format in which champagne usually develops particularly evenly.

In the glass it shows a bright golden yellow. The nose is fresh with blossom and fruit, and the attack on the palate is lively. Then it turns structured and round, with a slight vinosity and a pleasant finish. It goes well with fish, such as carpaccio, and with white meat. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip glass or a wide white wine glass.
