Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut NV Champagne (75cl)

A non-vintage Champagne from Maison Perrier-Jouët, blended from about 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Meunier and 20% Chardonnay drawn from around 50 crus, with up to 15% reserve wine. It is aged on lees for at least three years and dosed at about 8 to 10 g/L. The house was founded in 1811 and this cuvée can be traced to the lower-dosage Cuvée K of 1846. The wine is silver-grey gold in colour, with floral notes, fresh fruit and a hint of buttered bread and vanilla. It is fresh and light on the palate, with a rich finish. Serve at about 10°C, as an aperitif or with poultry.
