Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut NV Champagne is a radiant embodiment of the house’s signature elegance — a celebration of floral freshness, refined fruit, and artful craftsmanship. As the first Champagne house to pioneer the “brut” style, Perrier-Jouët continues to set the standard for balance, purity, and joie de vivre in every golden glass.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Brilliant silvery-gold in colour with a fine, persistent mousse. The bouquet opens with delicate floral notes of honeysuckle and linden, layered with fresh lemon, peach, and green apple. As it evolves, aromas of buttery brioche, madeleine, vanilla sugar, and toasted nuts emerge. On the palate, it is crisp and elegant — green apple and citrus zest glide over a creamy texture and mineral backbone, leading to a long, refined finish.

Craftsmanship & Story
Founded in 1811 in Épernay, Maison Perrier-Jouët is one of Champagne’s most distinguished and artistic houses. Its Grand Brut pays homage to the 1846 Cuvée K — the world’s first “brut” Champagne — created for Queen Victoria. Crafted from a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay, this cuvée reflects a delicate equilibrium between freshness and richness. The grapes are sourced from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards, fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity, and aged to develop depth and finesse.
Special Features
This iconic cuvée embodies Perrier-Jouët’s signature floral style — elegant, vivacious, and harmoniously textured. Its brightness and creamy sophistication make it as perfect for a celebratory toast as it is for fine dining. A “chameleon” Champagne that pairs beautifully across courses, from aperitif to entrée.
