Joseph Perrier : Cuvée Royale Brut Nature

A pure and natural champagne without sugar added

The property

In the depths of its 3 kilometres of underground chalk tunnels of Gallo-Roman origin, the prestigious Champagne Joseph Perrier carefully guards a know-how and respect for tradition handed down over many generations. Each plot is vinified and aged separately to express the identity of each terroir.

The winemaking

The Joseph Perrier Cuvée Royale Brut Nature is a champagne of great purity to which no dosage has been added. Based on the 2013 vintage, which was chosen for its famous freshness, 24% of the blend is made of reserve wines. The Cuvée Royale Brut Nature was aged for 72 months on lees.

The blend

35% chardonnay, 35% pinot noir, 30% pinot meunier

The tasting

The Cuvée Royale Brut Nature should be tasted at an ideal temperature between 8 and 10 ° C.

The Colour
The fine effervescence of this champagne sparkles against a rather deep gold vermeil colour.
The Nose
On the nose, delicate floral fragrances dominate, particularly rose and peony. Then, spice notes take over with a very pleasant intensity.
The Palate
The Cuvée Royale Brut Nature is direct and pure champagne that is both round and powerful. On the palate, this translates into a lively attack that introduces acidulous aromas of apple and pear, as well as riper notes of yellow fruits (nectarine), all enhanced by a touch of pepper.

Food Pairings

Fairly versatile, the Joseph Perrier Cuvée Royale Brut Nature is very pleasant as an aperitif, but can just as easily pair with a wide variety of dishes: raw fish, shellfish, Asian cuisines.
