First released in 1971, Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut is an homage to Cuvee K, the first Brut Champagne made by Perrier-Jouet in 1846. With crisp acidity and layers of apple and citrus fruits, this attractive wine still has some of the higher dosages typical of this house.
Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut is a melting pot of aromas and flavors – a wonderfully rounded, generous champagne whose joie de vivre makes every moment more special. It is a blend of 50 different Crus; Grand Brut expresses the quality and diversity of the Perrier-Jouet winemaking tradition. Its assemblage balances the consistency of the Perrier-Jouet style and the effects of the year’s climate.
With 12 to 20% of reserve wines added, Grand Brut is dominated by the elegance and finesse of the Chardonnays (20%) from the best vineyards in the Cote des Blancs. The delicate structure is brought by Pinot Noir (40%), primarily sourced from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallee de la Marne, but also from the best Crus in the Aube region, such as Les Riceys. Pinot Meunier (40%) from the Vallee de la Marne brings harmony, fruit, and roundness to the wine.
