A deep golden colour. The bouquet opens with a fresh and soft appeal, followed by a delicious combination of complex aromas: butter, soft dried spices with grilled almonds and fruit with ripe citrus and apricot notes. A hint of fresh mineral character dominates with some subtle evolved points. The palate is fine fruity vinous element yet, vibrant yet perfectly balanced. Flavours of spice, dried fruits and ripe fresh fruit over caramel abound tied together by the firm back-bone mineral finish.

Family-owned since its creation, Joseph Perrier is loyal to the town where it settled in 1825, Châlons-en-Champagne. The house has trust in the Dervin family since four generations to craft the Joseph Perrier Champagne; Jérôme succeeded Claude and took over the position of cellar master in early 2015. The house is very attached to the vineyard of the Marne valley that has just been registered as world heritage! Under Patrick Martin's management, the vineyard – a country luxury – receives the cares adapted to sustainable viticulture; for example he practices mating disruption. In its fundamentals, the house is historical and humane. In the cellars—ancient Gallo-Roman chalk quarries—the men work like craftsmen, put the bottles neck down, remove them from the racks, riddle and disgorge the vintages and prestige cuvées by hand! Each bottling is handled on average by ten men… The recognition of Joseph Perrier cuvées, named “Royal” by Queen Victoria and her son King Edward VII, contributed to the influence of the house. The historical cuvées still bear the mention on their labels.
