Perrier-Jouët Champagne Blanc de Blancs À Éperney NV

Rich and toasty up front, with a smoky mineral underpinning and notes of brioche and roasted nut, this is nonetheless lithe and graceful throughout, integrating a spine of vibrant acidity with the lovely palate of apricot, honeysuckle and pickled ginger flavors.

Perrier-Jouët Champagne was founded in 1811 by Nicolas Perrier and Adele Jouët. The foundation of the estate, located in Epernay, has always been chardonnay. The maison owns 65 hectares of vineyards, 99.2% of which is Grand Cru, including sites in the Cote des Blancs: Cramant and Avize. This cuvee is inspired by the historic Blason de France (1955-1990), Perrier-Jouët's first prestige bottling.
