Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is a non-vintage Champagne from the Champagne appellation, the flagship of the Épernay house founded in 1811. The blend is composed of the three grape varieties permitted in the region: Chardonnay, bringing finesse and floral delicacy, Pinot Noir, providing structure and body, and Pinot Meunier, responsible for fruity roundness. The wine is made from around fifty crus, intended to express the diversity of this Champagne house's terroir.

The history of this cuvée dates back to the mid-19th century. The lineage of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut leads to 1846, when the house introduced the historic Cuvée K, the world's first low-dosage Champagne in the style known today as brut, dosed at a sugar level below 5 percent — a boldly small amount in an era when Champagnes usually contained up to 40 percent. The house became renowned for brut-style Champagnes, which it was able to create thanks to high-quality grapes requiring only a small amount of added sugar — a philosophy maintained to this day.

As for the vinification, the hand-harvested grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by malolactic fermentation. The cuvée's dosage ranges from 8 to 11 grams per litre depending on the vintage, and the ageing period exceeds the appellation's criteria more than twofold.

In the glass the wine shows a silvery gold colour. The floral aromas are complemented by fresh fruit and hints of buttery brioche and vanilla, while the crisp, light structure combines freshness with a rich, generous finish. First come notes of plum, lemon and bergamot, which give way to fruit-tree blossom such as linden and honeysuckle, followed by tones of butter, madeleine biscuits and vanilla. Lingering accents of grapefruit, white peach, green pear, apple tree and green hazelnuts round off the palate.

Served at 7–9°C. In the opinion of cellar master Séverine Frerson, it has the substance and personality to suit any occasion — from an aperitif to a main course of white meat or fish in a creamy sauce. Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut pairs with dishes such as fish carpaccio or white meats. Bottle of 1.5 litres (magnum), alcohol 12%.
