The production of Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut champagne

Grand Brut is a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay. The grapes come from around fifty carefully selected vineyards, including Chouilly, Avize, and Cramant on the Côte des Blancs for the Chardonnays, and Verzy, Verzenay, and Ambonnay on the Montagne de Reims for the Pinot Noirs. Pinot Meunier from Dizy and Damery in the Marne Valley add fruity aromas. With a dosage of between 8 and 10 g/L and a minimum of three years' aging in the cellar, this cuvée offers remarkable balance.

A history of innovation

The Grand Brut dates back to 1846, when Perrier-Jouët launched the first brut champagne in history, with a lower dosage than was standard at the time. This innovative philosophy continues today, with an emphasis on the quality of the grapes rather than the addition of sugar.
