Blason Blanc De Blancs Nv Champagne - Single

Features

Description

Pure Chardonnay, pure Champagne elegance, and a bottle that looks like it has absolutely no intention of sitting quietly at the back of the fridge. Perrier-Jou*t Blason Blanc de Blancs NV is a beautifully refined expression made entirely from Chardonnay, showcasing the freshness, floral character and finesse that have long defined the Perrier-Jou*t house style.

Founded in *pernay in 1811, Maison Perrier-Jou*t has developed a particular affinity for Chardonnay, using the variety to create Champagnes known for their elegance rather than sheer power. This Blanc de Blancs takes that philosophy to its logical conclusion, allowing Chardonnay to take centre stage.

Bright, precise and wonderfully fresh, the wine opens with citrus and white flowers before revealing crisp orchard fruit, delicate stone fruit and subtle mineral notes. Fine bubbles and lively acidity give the Champagne an energetic character, while a gentle creaminess adds enough texture to keep things from becoming overly lean.

The result is an elegant, refreshing Champagne that's equally comfortable as an aperitif or alongside seafood and lighter dishes. And then there's the striking clear bottle, allowing the pale golden Champagne itself to become part of the presentation. Subtle? By Champagne standards, perhaps. Tasting Notes Appearance: Luminous pale gold with delicate green highlights and a fine, persistent stream of bubbles.

Nose: Fresh and expressive, with white flowers, elderflower and citrus blossom accompanied by lemon, grapefruit and crisp green apple. Subtle notes of white peach and fresh mineral character emerge underneath. Palate: Vibrant and beautifully precise. Fresh lemon and citrus zest lead into pear, green apple and white peach, supported by a delicate creamy texture and fine mousse.

A chalky mineral character and bright acidity provide excellent structure and freshness. Finish: Clean, elegant and persistent, with lingering citrus, white fruit and a refreshing mineral edge. Technical Details Producer: Perrier-Jou*tOrigin: *pernay, Champagne, FranceAppellation: Champagne AOCCategory: Blanc de Blancs ChampagneExpression: Blason Blanc de BlancsStyle: Non-VintageGrape Variety: 100% ChardonnayABV: 12%Bottle Size: 750mlDosage: Brut Food Pairing The freshness and minerality of Blanc de Blancs make this a particularly good Champagne for seafood.

Pair it with oysters, fresh shellfish, sushi, sashimi, ceviche, grilled white fish or smoked salmon. It also works beautifully with goat's cheese, lighter poultry dishes and delicate canap*s. Or serve it properly chilled as an aperitif and forget about the food entirely. Nobody has ever looked at an empty bottle of Perrier-Jou*t and complained that there weren't enough snacks.

Why It's Worth a Look If Perrier-Jou*t Grand Brut is the classic introduction to the house, the Blanc de Blancs is where its Chardonnay-driven personality really gets to show off. There's no Pinot Noir here providing additional weight or red fruit character. Instead, the emphasis is firmly onfreshness, citrus, flowers, minerality and finesse.

That makes it particularly appealing to Champagne drinkers who prefer a brighter, more elegant style over richer, toastier expressions. It also happens to look spectacular on a table.
