2014 Joseph Perrier Cuvee Josephine
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2014 Brut Cuvée Joséphine, the latest (12th) rendition of this iconic cuvée, displays aromas of white orchard fruits, spring flowers, nuts, pastry, freshly baked bread and crushed stones. With a dosage of five grams per liter, this medium to full-bodied cuvée presents a perfectly balanced palate that underscores the fruity, straightforward nature of the 2014 vintage. It should age well for about five years. This blend is composed of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, all sourced from Ambonnay, Sacy, Cumières, Bergères-les-Vertus and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.

Leesy character dominates here, with a rather stern profile, though there’s candied lemon, fresh green apple, redcurrant and subtle, biscuity depth. Fine bubbles, apple flavor and a tight and powerful structure. Yet, it’s finely extracted and tuned with crisp, refreshing acidity. 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir. Disgorged in 2022. Dosage 5g/L. Best after 6 months.
