CHAMPAGNE
In the ‘Comet Year’ of 1811 and just 12 months after their nuptials, young newlyweds Pierre- Nicolas Perrier and Adèle Jouët created a Champagne House in Epernay through which their love story would continue throughout time. Today, from the same address and using the same buildings & cellars that the couple created, Perrier-Jouët continues to create enchanting, seductive and delicate Champagnes in the style created in unison by the founding couple.
Perrier Jouët Grand Brut glass £12 - bottle £65 - half bottle £35 - magnum £145 A blend of fifty different Crus, Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut expresses the quality and diversity of the House winemaking tradition. Its assemblage creates a balance between the consistency of the Perrier-Jouët style and the effects of the climate of the year. With 12 to 20% of reserve wines added, Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut is dominated by the elegance and finesse of the Chardonnay (20%) from the best vineyards in the Côte des Blancs. The delicate structure is brought by the Pinot Noir (40%) primarily sourced from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne, but also from the best Crus in the Aube region such as Les Riceys. Pinot Meunier (40%) from the Vallée de la Marne brings harmony, fruit and roundness to the wine.
Perrier Jouët Blason Rose bottle £85
The Cellar Master seeks ampleness and structure in this cuvée, in search of a gourmet blend which must nevertheless retain a certain freshness. A marriage which demands the precision of a specialist in order to bring out the elegance of style that is the hallmark of Perrier-Jouët champagne. The choice of Crus is carefully adjusted according to the harvest. An addition of 12 to 15% of reserve wines creates the consistency required to balance the Perrier-Jouët style with the climatic effects of the year. Built on the model of the Perrier- Jouët Grand Brut, which is driven by the intensity of the Chardonnay in the blend, Perrier- Jouët Blason Rosé is enriched by the addition of red wines. The elegance and finesse of the Chardonnay (25%), blend with the structure of the Pinot Noir (50% including the added red wines) and the fruitiness of Pinot Meunier (25%) – a grape with which Perrier-Jouët has acquired specific expertise.
Perrier Jouët Belle Epoque 2013 bottle £220 While preserving the House style, Hervé Deschamps blended this cuvée to emphasise the unique
character of the 2011 vintage. His blend brings out the freshness and elegance of the Chardonnay (50%) from the grands crus of Cramant and Avize. From the Montagne de Reims, the Pinot Noir (45%) display a generosity and delicate complexity that prolong the Chardonnay’s finesse. Finally, the rounded charm of the Pinot

INTAGEBillecart-Salmon Brut Reserve
Billecart-Salmon is one of the few remaining Champagne houses to be owned by the original family and was established in 1818 by Nicolas- Francois Billecart. Most of Billecart-Salmon’s fruit comes from a small vineyard. Meticulous production techniques from the use of their own cultured yeast to its long, slow, cool fermentation, ensure that the family has 100 percent control of production. This is without doubt one of the finest, yet least known, Grande Marque Champagnes.
