Joseph Perrier : Cuvée Royale Brut Rosé

The freshness and finesse of a rosé Champagne wine

The estate

In the depths of its 3 kilometres of underground chalk tunnels of Gallo-Roman origin, the high-quality Joseph Perrier Champagne House perpetuates a know-how and a respect for tradition which has been transmitted from generation to generation. Each plot is vinified separately so that the identity of each of the Champagne terroirs can be expressed, with bespoke ageing processes.

Characteristics and tasting tips for Cuvée Royale Brut Rosé by Joseph Perrier

Tasting

Colour
The champagne is beautifully elegant, with golden highlights. The effervescence is lively and delicate.

Nose
Harmonious and expressive, the nose reveals notes of fresh red berries that evolve into delicate fragrances of violet and liquorice.

Palate
The lively attack in the mouth delights with the balance between tension and acidity. The mid-palate exudes flavoursome red fruit notes, which actively lead to a glorious finish, combining freshness and minty notes.

Food and wine pairing

This Royale Brut Rosé pairs perfectly with white meats and not too sweet desserts.

To serve

For the best tasting, this champagne should be chilled in an ice bucket for 20 minutes before being served at between 8 and 10°C.
