Perrier-Jouët

Coffret Blanc de Blancs + 2 flûtes (éd. Marcin Rusak) | Bottle 75cl - Presentation pack + flutes

Description

This limited edition gift set includes a bottle of Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs and two flutes decorated by artist Marcin Rusak. He has created a floral design that extends the House's iconic botanical universe.

This Blanc de Blancs expresses a luminous style: citrus fruits, white flowers, a silky texture, and a finish of great freshness.

The Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs cuvée

This cuvée is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and more southern areas, selected for their balance between tension and sweetness. A small proportion of reserve wines ensures the continuity of the House style and aromatic consistency across vintages.

• Chardonnay (100%) brings citrus freshness, floral precision, and a mineral structure.

The terroir

Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs draws its identity from premier chalky terroirs, where Chardonnay expresses itself with the greatest finesse. The deep chalk regulates water and heat, producing grapes that are both ripe and taut. This mineral base translates into a sensation of purity and delicate salinity in the glass.

Vinification

The vinification process follows a precise approach aimed at preserving freshness. The juices are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with malolactic fermentation carried out to bring comfort to the palate. The wine is then aged for at least three years on lees in the bottle, before disgorging and moderate dosage of around 8 g/L (Brut), in order to maintain the balance between liveliness and roundness.

Collaboration with Marcin Rusak

This box set and its two flutes are decorated by Marcin Rusak, an artist and designer who works with botanical materials as a true language. His motif, abundant with flowers and plants, evokes the interdependence of living things and the richness of the Champagne ecosystem.

The organic shapes, plant details, and play of transparency pay tribute to the biodiversity that is so dear to the House. This creation is part of Perrier-Jouët's regenerative viticulture approach on part of its vineyard, with the aim of restoring the soil, promoting microbial life, and limiting its environmental footprint. The box thus becomes an object of reflection on nature.

Tasting notes

• Nose

  Initial nose of white flowers: peony, honeysuckle, lime blossom. Followed by citrus notes (lemon, grapefruit), a touch of fresh pear and almond. Precise and airy overall.

Storage and serving

How to store this cuvée

We recommend storing Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs in a cellar or dark place at 10–12°C, with stable humidity around 70%. The bottle should be stored horizontally to keep the cork supple and airtight.

Aging potential

Aging potential: 5 to 8 years. In the first 3 years, the wine favors crisp citrus fruits and white flowers. Between 4 and 6 years, the palate gains in fullness, with hints of almond and light honey. At the end of the aging period, the texture becomes more enveloping, with the minerality remaining in the background to maintain balance.

How to serve Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs?

Serve this Blanc de Blancs between 44°F and 46°F, ideally in the Marcin Rusak flutes provided in the box. Their shape highlights the finesse of the bubbles and the floral notes. Fill each glass one-third full to allow the aromas to develop.
