Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut
Champagne | 12% ABV | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is crafted in Épernay, France, using a meticulous blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The Chardonnay, which makes up a notable proportion of the blend, lends elegance and floral finesse, while Pinot Noir provides structure and body, and Pinot Meunier contributes fruit-forward roundness.
