Elegant and finely balanced, with a subtle vein of smoky minerality underscoring juicy poached apple, candied lemon zest, gingersnap and honey notes. A fine aperitif. Drink now through 2016. –AN

This offers fresh and attractive fruit aromas with a gently flinty, white-peach and white-flower fragrance on offer. The palate has an attractive, fresh and crisp feel with creamy, crispy texture at the finish. Good NV. Drink now.

The NV Grand Brut is a pleasing, creamy-textured wine with good definition in its flavors and lovely overall harmony. The house’s NV Brut is 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, with 10-20% of reserve wines added. Disgorged on November 14th, 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010. <br/><br/>Perrier-Jouet is a large producer based in Epernay that is most famous for its striking “flower bottle” which remains one of Champagne’s most recognizable designs. The house favors a perceptibly sweet style, with dosage levels that are towards the high end of the range for the region. Few producers make it harder than Perrier-Jouet to discern a lot number. Readers will have to look in the punt of the bottles for the small, raised code which can then be traced back to a disgorgement date. Surely there must be a more consumer-friendly way to do things.
