A heritage that continues: The history of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut dates back to 1846. It was in response to the English preference for drier champagnes that Perrier-Jouët launched Cuvée K, recognised as the world’s first lightly dosed champagne, a category of champagne that is now known as “Brut”. According to the House’s records, Cuvée K had a sugar level of less than 5%, whereas the champagnes of the time contained around 40%. Thanks to the very high quality of its grapes, Perrier-Jouët used very little added sugar. As the direct heir to this historic cuvée, Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut faithfully perpetuates a tradition that made its reputation at the time. Beyond the fact that it is part of the history of the House, this champagne is the pioneer of the House style.
To the eye
A beautiful golden hue.
On the nose

In the mouth
Its freshness and generosity offer a very rich length in the mouth, with a very clear balance and harmony until the end of the tasting.
Food & champagne pairings
A floral and fruity fragrance that blends perfectly with the aromas of spring vegetables and the delicate flavours of poultry. Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut can be served with dishes such as fish in carpaccio or white meats. Its liveliness goes well with semi-cooked vegetables served with poached blond tofu.

Potential of keeping
Like all wines, champagne can be kept for varying lengths of time, depending on the type. Under optimal storage conditions, champagne can be kept for 1 to 2 years for Brut cuvées, and up to 4/5 years or even longer for vintage and prestige champagnes. Whatever happens, rest assured that you'll never be able to open your champagne too early, as the Champagne Houses only release their cuvées when they have reached perfect ripeness and are ready for immediate consumption.
To craft Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut, Hervé Deschamps, Cellar Master, selects the best wines from at least fifty different crus. Each vintage is meticulously blended with a percentage of reserve wines to guarantee the style and quality of this cuvée year after year. This complex blend reveals the floral nuances of the Chardonnay (20%) – mainly from the Côte des Blancs, but also from the Sud of Épernay and Montagne de Reims. The other two Champagne grape varieties enhance it, preserving its elegance. Pinot Noir (40%) – Montagne de Reims North and South, also Petite Montagne de Reims and Aube – gives it structure and power, as well as a form of purity. The Meunier (40%) – from the Marne Valley and the Épernay region – provides roundness and a link.
