The ancestry of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut can be traced back to 1846, when Maison Perrier-Jouët launched its historic Cuvée K, the world’s first lightly dosed champagne in the style today known as “brut”.
Cuvée K was dosed at a sugar level of less than 5% – daringly little for an era when champagnes regularly contained up to 40%. Maison Perrier-Jouët became renowned for its brut champagnes, which it was able to produce owing to the fact that its high-quality grapes required very little added sugar – a philosophy maintained to this day.
This bottle is the standard 750ml. If you are looking for the Magnum 1.5L bottle, you can find it here.
A pleasant, mid-weight Champagne that shows lovely complexity. Suggestions of smoke, roasted nuts, and light honey add character to a generous core of ripe yellow fruit. The wine offers excellent overall balance and a poised finish.
