Joseph Perrier Vintage, Brut Champagne 2008
A beautiful floral character of honeysuckle and acacia is followed by fruitier flavours of white peach and ripe pear. The finish is rich and buttery.

| Press Reviews |
Attractive freshness here with bright berries and a swathe of fine, spiced biscuits and tannins with a sleek, flinty, almond edge. Bright berries to close. Long, subtly savory pastry notes, too. Drink now. Score: 93 Points Taut and mineral, this is an elegant example with tobacco and vanilla on the finely etched, creamy palate. There is a sense of purpose here, with high firm acidity. Tasting Score: 91. Drinking Window 2018 – 2020 The latest vintage release from this producer based in Châlons-en-Champagne is very much in the house style with its crisp acidity and tight texture. It is towards the dry end of Brut with apple and citrus flavors and little sign yet of aging. Although this textured wine is ready to drink, it will be better from 2018. 93 points |
