WINE MAKING PROCESS
Joseph Perrier Cuvée Royale Brut is produced using a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. Each plot is vinified separately to capture its unique terroir. The wine undergoes primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its sparkle. It is aged for a minimum of three years in the estate's historic Gallo-Roman cellars. Approximately 20% of the blend consists of reserve wines, used to ensure consistency and quality across non-vintage releases. Grapes are hand-harvested into small baskets. The estate's vineyards have been certified High Environmental Value since 2021.
