Producer Information

Perrier Jouet was established in 1811 by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie Perrier in the town of Epernay, adding the maiden name of his wife, Ad le Jouet, to name the house.

In 1854 Perrier Jouet were the first house to release a dry style of Champagne, which would then be replicated across the region. It was also one of the first Houses to stamp the cork of its wines and add the initials PJ as proof of their authenticity.

Perrier-Jouet consists of sixty-five hectares of land rating 99.2% on the Cru scale and they carefully select the best plots of land giving pride of place to Chardonnay. This brings a delicacy to the Perrier Jouet style, a style said to have been favoured by Pierre-Nicolas-Marie, and a trait that can still be found in the wines of Perrier Jouet today.

Grapes

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier

Production

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.

Tasting Notes

Floral aromas, rounded out by fresh fruit and hints of buttery brioche and vanilla. Crisp and light on the palate, it combines freshness with a lingeringly rich and generous finish.
