Joseph Perrier Champagne Cuvee Royale NV 750ml
The Wine Advocate | RP 89
Published: Aug 31, 2019
The latest release of Joseph Perrier's NV Brut Cuvee Royale is showing well, revealing a generous bouquet of ripe apples, mandarin, warm biscuits and subtle hints of honeycomb. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and rounded, with a generous core of fruit, ripe acids and a youthfully frothy mousse. It's testimony to the progress made at Joseph Perrier in the last decade.

On the nose the aromas are fine, delicate and complex, with notes of apple and pear. Fresh attack, lots of life, and is yet supple, round and most refreshing on the finish.
