Cuvée Josephine 2012 | Bottle 75cl

Description

Joseph Perrier's Cuvée Joséphine 2012 is a remarkable champagne. It combines the House's finest terroirs with unique expertise. It's a cuvée acclaimed by wine guides and top sommeliers alike.

This champagne is a blend of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir, grapes sourced exclusively from terroirs classified as Premiers and Grands Crus with Ambonnay, Cumières and Bergères-lès-Vertus.

The grapes are pressed and vinified separately, before aging for a minimum of 6 years in the Maison's cellars in Châlons-en-Champagne.

Each bottle passes through the hands of a dozen men passionate about exceptional champagne.

This champagne has a fine mousse that reflects a brilliant gold.

The nose is extremely delicate and complex. Aromas of dried nuts such as walnut, hazelnut and bitter almond combine with floral notes of iris and acacia. On aeration, a hint of vanilla and spice emerges.

The palate expresses the subtle marriage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The elegance of one and the power of the other offer a bouquet of vibrant aromas of prunes, grapes and flowers.

This Cuvée Joséphine 2012 is a perfect match for fresh dishes such as scallop carpaccio, and will sublimate the tender flesh of sea bass.

"The combination of the minerality of the great Chardonnays and the structure of the great Pinots, sublimated by a few bunches of Cumières, reveals this magnificent wine from an aromatic and very fine vintage. A guaranteed favorite! Benjamin Fourmon, General Manager, 6th generation.
