Perrier Jouet Grand Brut NV–The Real Deal

While we are on a bubbles roll, there is nothing like the original.   A remarkable example from Epernay, France in Champagne is the Perrier Jouet Grand Brut NV.  The Perrier Jouet is a Pinot Noir blend that exhibits the classic Champagne characteristics of toast, citrus and a touch of honey with delightful tiny bubbles.  Effervescent with a delightfully dry finish, the Perrier sparkler will never disappoint your crowd, whether a holiday party or small gathering with friends.  Retailing for approximately $55, the Perrier Jouet Grand Brut NV is certainly not inexpensive, but may be considered a relative bargain in comparison with similar classic Epernay Champagnes.  Bubbles this extraordinary were not unnoticed by the professional reviewers–Wine Spectator  awarded this wine a very impressive 91 rating.
