One of the most tasted Champagnes in the world, which rests at least three years on the lees, proving refined, unique and tasty. Born in 1856, it is the first brut Champagne created by the maison and was designed by chef De Cave who, in order to satisfy English customers, decided to considerably reduce the sugar dosage of his cuvées. With its combination of fifty different crus, Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is the symbol of the quality and diversity on which the Maison's winemaking tradition is based. Its blend creates a perfect balance between the consistency of the Perrier-Jouët style and the effects of the vintage's weather conditions. Thanks to the addition of 12-20% reserve wines, Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is characterized by the elegance and finesse of Chardonnay (20%) from the best vineyards of the Côte des Blancs.
- Characteristics : The color is silvery gold in the glass with a vibrant and elegant cuvée. The scent denotes floral aromas, complemented by fresh fruit and hints of buttery brioche and vanilla. On the palate it is fresh and light, combining freshness with a persistently rich and generous finish.

History of the Perrier-Jouet winery
Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaïde Jouët shared a love of nature and the arts. She was a cultured young woman from a Norman merchant family; he is a masterful viticulturist and botanist. A year after their marriage, in 1811 they founded the Maison Perrier-Jouët: born from their desire to create a different Champagne Maison. The founders' passion for art, nature and champagne has been passed down from generation to generation. Their son Charles Perrier, a botanist like his father, took over the House in 1848. The family philosophy of creative freedom and unconventional observation of nature is intrinsic to the history of champagne. These values still shape the Maison Perrier-Jouët today. Cuvée Belle époque A unique legacy Art Nouveau, inspired by the graceful and sinuous forms of nature, flourished throughout Europe at the end of the 19th century. The exuberance and creative freedom of the movement paved the way for the avant-garde art of the 20th century. The ethos of Art Nouveau was to reinvent nature to re-enchant everyday life. The Maison Perrier-Jouët's affinity with the Art Nouveau movement is best expressed by the emblematic anemone motif illustrated for the Maison in 1902 by Emile Gallé. Today, the House's enduring connection with art and nature translates into an extravagant universe that reinvents luxury as a meaningful experience with artistic collaborations.
