Champagne Joseph Perrier Brut NV, Chalons-en-Champagne, Champagne, France

This wonderful Champagne House was founded in 1825, Joseph Perrier has been owned and run by the same family since 1888. This is the house style which is fruity with a long refreshing finish. The name ‘Cuvée Royale’ celebrates the elegance and history of cuvées once supplied to HRH Queen Victoria and King Edward VII in years gone by. The royal connections with this prestigious house have remained strong throughout its continued history. This is a blend of 35% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier. A colour of pale yellow gold, with notes of apple and pear suggesting the fruity style to come on the palate which has plenty of fresh attack, lots of life, and is yet supple, round and most refreshing on the finish. Perfect way to start the evening!
