Perrier Jouet Champagne Brut Blason Rose 750 ML

This elegant and famous champagne was first made in Epernay early in the nineteenth century. Created by Nicolas Perrier and his wife Adele Jouet, the brand was an instant success. They recognized the potential of overseas markets and Perrier-Jouet sent its first consignment to Great Britain in 1815 and to the U.S. in 1822. French it may be, but in 1861, Champagne Perrier-Jouet was the favorite of Queen Victoria, and the House became not only the official supplier of the British monarchy, but also of the Swedish royal family and the King of Belgium. Perrier-Jouet's most famous champagne is its Prestige Cuvee, Fleur de Champagne, ensconced in the Emile Galle designed "flower" bottle that pays tribute to the Belle Epoque era. A bottle of Perrier-Jouët's Blason Rosé Champagne. Made with a cépage of 45% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Meunier, this has powerful notes of red fruit. This will match well with lightly cooked salmon or desserts containing red fruits.
