Champagne Brut AOC Vintage 2008 Joseph Perrier

Joseph Perrier's Brut Vintage is a Champagne produced by a series of different Grand Cru and Premier Cru located in the Vallée de la Marne.

It consists of a blend divided between 50% of Chardonnay, 41% of Pinot Noir and 9% of Pinot Meounier. The grapes are harvested from numerous crus, including Le Mesnil sur Oger, Chouilly, Bergères les Vertus, Cumières, Mailly-Champagne, Rilly la Montagne and Sacy. Maison Perrier strongly believes in the power of aging; therefore, the Brut Vintage never stops on the lees for less than 6 years.

At sight it is bright golden yellow. Its perfume is articulated in fruity notes of mango, exotic fruit, white peach, apple and honeysuckle, all embraced by a creamy pastry texture. In the mouth it confirms the softness, as much as it manifests the freshness and salinity. Ginger and apricot dominate the taste of this Champagne with a balanced and very fine body.

Perfect with a butter lobster.
