Jean Pernet Biographie
Extra Brut Grand Cru Magnum
The Jean Pernet champagne house is located in the heart of the Mesnil Sur Oger of Champagne. The vineyard has been in the family's ownership all the way through generations and today is almost 40 hectares with fields in several municipalities. Generation after generation has contributed actively to the development of both the vineyard and the own production. The vines are on average over 30 years old and are being harvested manually. Vinification and storage take place in temperature-controlled cellars, and the wines are sold partly on the domestic market and partly in many other countries both in and outside Europe. Jean Pernet's Grand Cru fields have a high content of lime, which here gives the Chardonnay grape a nice minerality. The grapes for this wine are grown on vines that are on average 40 years old, all the grapes are handpicked and 50% of the wine has been aged in oak barrels. The wine has been aged for 7 years before bottling and then 6 months in bottle in Jean Pernet's cellars. It is an Extra Brut with only 3 grams of residual sugar per litres. It has a nice shiny color, fine bubbles, delicate and elegant fruit aroma, also an incredibly elegant and complex taste with good concentration and nice style, followed by a long, crisp and dry aftertaste. A lot of elegant Champagne with fine, persistent bubbles. Only 700 magnum bottles have been produced and each magnum bottle is numbered.
