Perrier-Jouët Discovery Trio Gift Box (3 x 750mL)

Maison Perrier-Jouët was born in 1811, one year after the marriage of Pierre-Nicolas Perrier and Rose-Adélaide Jouët, two passionate and entrepreneurial champagne lovers with a thirst for success. With a definitive eye for detail they began cultivating vines and quickly realised the potential for Chardonnay in the Côte des Blancs. 

Dazzling and bright, the first sip of champagne dances on the palate, awakening the senses with its delightful effervescence. Tasting champagne is an art form, inviting you to savor the delicate aromas and lively taste. Discover this unique ritual with expert tips from Sebastien Lebon, host of Maison Belle Epoque, to help you create the best tasting conditions for every glass.

1. There are three stages of tasting: the robe, the nose and the palate.
2. Start your tasting experience by describing the robe, or color, of the champagne and its effervescence: are the bubbles thin? Is the color bright?
3. When holding your glass, avoid placing your hand under the body of the glass, preferring instead to hold the stem to ensure the champagne does not warm up.
4. The best glass in which to taste champagne should closely resemble that of a wine glass.
5. Once served, smell the champagne to explore the nose and spin the glass delicately in order to aerate the wine, revealing the aromas in the second nose.
6. Finally, it's time to taste! The trick is to take in a trickle of air with the first sip to take in the full expression of the wine.
