Good things are meant to be shared!

By far this is one of my most passionate articles to date, I’ve known this wine and label for some time and after another recent tasting, the love and passion for this drop has finally found its roots deeply rooted to the heart of my palate! Call me bias? Who cares! It’s a passion that I would love to share with all vinophiles.

Champagne, the wine of kings…..tried and true in this case. Maison Joseph Perrier, well appreciated even by the Royal blood of Britain, recognized by Queen Victoria and King Edward VII and last but not least drank as a Royal toast during royal marriage ceremonies within the last century! This certainly is a champagne/ wine worth seeking out not merely for its merit and status but for what it has to offer which has captured the hearts of many. The style and quality of this bubbly drop is tremendously solid and one can only attest to the many achievements under its label. 

The non-vintage (NV) Cuvee Royale Brut may be considered as the ‘basic-entry’ level but in my opinion, it has so much to offer with great structure, finesse and complexity. This wine has almost equal proportions of the only three grape varietals allowed in Champagne used for this blend (35% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier). For slightly more information on Champagne, do refer to my previous Dom Perignon article.

Tasting Notes: On the nose there’s a myriad of nuances ranging from crisp apples, pears, some yeasty feel with slight nuttiness and a hint of coconut all laid on a bed of baked pie crust. As the great subtle and elegant mousse caress the palate, it bursts with great flavor intensity of baked apple pie mixed with pears and cinnamon topped off with dried apricots and a layer of crushed biscuits. I have to say this beautiful medium bodied wine has good acidity and what really caught my attention was ultimate purity of the fruit!

Bias?!?

My usual advice………..

Always trust your PALate, it’s your PAL!

Sante~!
