The making of the Grand Brut Perrier-Jouët magnum

The Grand Brut in magnum results from a blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay. The grapes, sourced from fifty carefully selected crus, express all the richness of the Champagne terroirs. The Chardonnays from villages like Chouilly and Cramant bring freshness and elegance, while the Pinot Noirs from Verzy and Ambonnay provide structure and intensity. The Meuniers, from the Marne Valley, add a fruity and round touch.

Under the direction of Séverine Frerson, Cellar Master, reserve wines, up to 15%, are added to the blend to provide beautiful aromatic depth. Aged for at least three years in the historic cellars of Perrier-Jouët, the Grand Brut magnum reveals exceptional maturity and brilliant freshness thanks to a dosage of 8 to 10 g/L.

A history of innovation

In 1846, Perrier-Jouët revolutionized the world of champagne by launching the first brut in history, with a significantly reduced sugar dosage. This spirit of innovation is embodied today in the Grand Brut magnum, a symbol of boldness and refinement.
