Tasting notes: Pale gold with hints of green, Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs awakens the senses with enticing aromas of hedgerow flowers – elderberry, acacia and honeysuckle – and tangy citrus. On the palate, its mineral freshness lingers into a surprisingly smooth, mellow finish, which adds to the charm of this delightfully lively, luminous champagne.
