Perrier Jouet
Perrier-Jouët was founded in 1811 in Epernay by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier and his wife Adele Jouët. One of the most prestigious houses in Champagne the firm was shipping wine to Great Britain by 1813 and to the United States by 1837. Perrier-Jouët owns 266 acres of vineyards in Champagne with an average rating of 95% and is known worldwide for its consistency of style. By the end of the 19th Century its Brut cuvées earned the reputation of nobility and prestige that continues today. Perrier Jouët's glamorous Cuvée Belle Epoque known in the United States as Fleur de Champagne was launched in 1969 and has become the most important cuvée de prestige to appear after World War II. The bottle is adorned with enamel-painted anenomes originally created by Emile Gallé in 1900 but the wine is as famous for its taste as it is for its beautiful packaging.
Description
Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut presents a light yellow gold color with medium fine, lively bubbles. On the nose, it reveals floral aromas complemented by fresh fruit and hints of buttery brioche and vanilla. The palate is crisp and light, combining freshness with a lingeringly rich and generous finish. Subtle notes of pear, apple, caramel, brioche, and a touch of minerality add complexity to its flavor profile, with nuances of lemon, toasted almond, ginger, and yeasty characteristics enhancing the experience.
Food Pairing
Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. It is an excellent choice for an aperitif and complements main courses such as white meat or fish in creamy sauces. The champagne's balance and freshness make it an ideal partner for dishes featuring chicken breast, grapefruit, or young leeks, enhancing the flavors without overwhelming the palate.
