Characteristics and tasting tips for Joseph Perrier’s Cuvée Royale Brut

Tasting

Colour
This champagne showcases a beautiful pale gold colour, with coppery reflections highlighting the finesse and liveliness of the effervescence.

Nose
Subtle at first, the nose then gives way to beautiful fruity notes reminiscent of green apple or the sweetness of vine peaches. With aeration the bouquet unveils elegant exotic notes of pineapple.

Palate
A lively and supple attack gives way to a palate harmoniously combining richness and purity. Delicious white flower scents draw out to a subtly acidic finish releasing vine peach notes.

Food and wine pairing

A perfect apéritif, this Cuvée Royale Brut will also complement salmon gravlax or shavings of Parmesan cheese.

To serve

For the best tasting, this champagne should be chilled in an ice bucket for 20 minutes before serving at between 8 and 10°C.
