The Making of Grand Brut Perrier-Jouët Champagne

The Grand Brut is a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay. The grapes come from about fifty carefully selected crus, including Chouilly, Avize, and Cramant on the Côte des Blancs for the Chardonnays, and Verzy, Verzenay, and Ambonnay on the Montagne de Reims for the Pinot Noirs. The Pinot Meunier from Dizy and Damery in the Vallée de la Marne add fruity aromas. With a dosage between 8 and 10 g/L and a minimum aging of three years in the cellar, this cuvée offers a remarkable balance.

A History of Innovation

The Grand Brut has its origins in 1846, when Perrier-Jouët launched the first brut champagne in history, with a reduced dosage compared to the standards of the time. This innovative philosophy continues today, focusing on the quality of the grapes rather than the addition of sugar.
