During the vinification, the first alcoholic fermentation, which converted the sugars into alcohol, took place in stainless steel while, according to the rules of the Champenoise Method, the second fermentation, which led to the second fermentation, took place after assembly in the bottle where the wine rested for 36 months in contact with the yeasts. Before release, Perrier Jouet's Champagne Grand Brut was aged for 36 months in the company's chalk cellars located at the Avenue de Champagne in the commune of Epernay.

CHAMPAGNE GRAND BRUT PERRIER JOUET: TASTING

The Champagne Grand Brut by Perrier Jouet offers a straw yellow colour enlivened by a fine perlage. On the nose, it releases aromas of pear, peach and white pulp fruit that meet fragrant scents of white flowers and notes of butter and toasted hazelnut. Delicate nuances of lemon and yellow citrus complete the olfactory picture. The sip is wide and elegant and enveloping, enhanced by a vibrant freshness and a clear minerality that persists in the long finish. At the table, it goes well with fresh and semi-aged cheeses as well as vegetarian dishes and seafood recipes based on white fish, molluscs and crustaceans. Also excellent paired with white meats.
