Joseph Perrier : Cuvée Royale Brut Blanc de Blancs

The tasting

Nose

The bouquet evolves with sweet aromas of stone fruit reminiscent of apricot, all enhanced by the freshness of citrus notes and the delicacy of floral scents.

Palate

A lively and refreshing attack precedes a full-bodied palate that blends the acidic aromas of pressed citrus fruits, sweet spices (cinnamon, vanilla) with delicious biscuit notes. The finish is persistent and delicate, with a subtle hint of lemon.
