Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut Champagne, France NV

Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of baked yellow apple, marcana almonds, lemon, peach, and raspberry turnover, and honeyed pastry dough with a round, finely carbonated, dryish medium body and a very long finish that shows overtones of apricot and peach, green apple and tart strawberry, raspberry, and red apple skin. A beautiful Champagne blend leaning into the red berry flavors that will make this a delicious aperitif as well as an easy companion for a wide range of dinner courses.

Always an elegant and refreshing expression, this wine has a delicate bouquet of apple and baked goods, white peach and strawberry. The leesy autolysis is both fine and delicate, defined and distinctive. The palate and mousse provide a finesse filled mouthfeel s well as releasing flavours that reflect the bouquet. Acidity refreshes the palate adding crunch and texture. Well made with a lengthy finish. Open and drink any day of the week or year. Delicious!
