A blend of 50 different Crus Perrier-Jout Grand Brut expresses the quality and diversity of the House winemaking tradition. Its assemblage creates a balance between the consistency of the Perrier-Jout style and the effects of the climate of the year. With 12 to 20% of reserve wines added Perrier-Jout Grand Brut is dominated by the elegance and finesse of the Chardonnay 20% from the best vineyards in the Cte de Blancs. The delicate structure is brought by the Pinot Noir 40% primarily sourced from the Montagne de Reims and the Valle de la Marne but also from the best Crus in the Aube region such as Les Riceys. Pinot Meunier 40% from the Valle de la Marne brings harmony fruit and roundness to the wine. First released in 1971 Perrier-Jout Grand Brut is an homage to ‘Cuve K’ the first Brut Champagne made by Perrier-Jout in 1846. With crisp acidity and layers of apple and citrus fruits this attractive wine still has some of the higher dosage typical of this house. Together the fruits and the soft texture have produced a wine that is ready to drink. Ideal Pairings for Perrier-Jout Grand Brut include chicken breast grapefruit and young leeks.
