Champagne Joseph Perrier

La Côte à Bras 2014

The Cuvée La Côte à Bras 2014 by Joseph Perrier is the result of an accurate and exclusive selection of Pinot Noir, grown in Cumières over a historical parcel (lieu-dit) of the Maison, Parcelle AH83, owned by the family since 1865. The alcoholic fermentation as well as the malolactic one takes place in steel vats under controlled temperature. A second fermentation follows in bottles, with foam development and horizontal rest for 6 years before the traditional remuage on pupitres. Degorgement in little lots. With its intense golden colour, this Champagne Brut Nature smells of iodine, sea water, but also honey and plum. It tastes of dried cherries, kirsch and dried fruit, for a lively grand finale.
