A blend of fifty different Crus, Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut expresses the quality and diversity of the House winemaking tradition. Its assemblage creates a balance between the consistency of the Perrier-Jouet style and the effects of the climate of the year. With 12 to 20% of reserve wines added, Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut is dominated by the elegance and finesse of the Chardonnay (20%) from the best vineyards in the Côte de Blancs. The delicate structure is brought by the Pinot Noir (40%) primarily sourced from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallee de la Marne, but also from the best Crus in the Aube region such as Les Riceys. Pinot Meunier (40%) from the Vallee de la Marne brings harmony, fruit and roundness to the wine. First released in 1971, Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut is an homage to 'Cuvee K', the first Brut Champagne made by Perrier-Jouet in 1846. With crisp acidity and layers of apple and citrus fruits, this attractive wine still has some of the higher dosage typical of this house. Together the fruits and the soft texture have produced a wine that is ready to drink.
