Perrier-Jouet Blason Rosé Brut Champagne

Blason Rosé is a bold, refined rosé Champagne that combines generosity and finesse. It carries vibrant red-fruit expression layered with floral perfume, underpinned by structure and tension. It’s both elegant and expressive—equally suitable for celebratory moments or pairing across a full meal.

Origins & Craftsmanship

Blason Rosé sits within the Perrier-Jouët portfolio as a “gourmet” rosé cuvée, conceived to push beyond standard rosé stereotypes. The blend typically comprises Chardonnay (about 25 %), Pinot Noir (about 50 %, including portions vinified as red wine), and Pinot Meunier (about 25 %), with a reserve wine component (12–15 %) to maintain house style across vintages.

Grapes are hand-harvested, vinified with careful temperature control, and undergo full malolactic fermentation to soften edge and enhance richness. The blend matures in Perrier-Jouët’s cellars, aging longer than minimum Appellation requirements, before dosage is applied (generally 8–11 g/L depending on vintage). The production emphasizes balance—freshness, red-fruit character, and underlying structural integrity.

This cuvée is inspired by the historic “Blason de France” line, aiming to combine vigour and elegance in harmony with gastronomy.

Tasting Profile

Nose: A radiant bouquet of strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, and hints of pomegranate. Floral notes of honeysuckle, rose, and white flowers weave through, while subtle pastry and brioche nuances provide depth.

Palate: On the palate it is lively and full-bodied. Layers of red berries (wild strawberry, sour cherry) glide into richer notes of blood orange, red plum, and a touch of dark currant. Beneath the fruit lies toasted bread, biscuit, and creamy pastry hints. The acidity is lively, framing the wine and giving it tension without sharpness.

Finish: The finish is generous and lingering. Fruit recedes gradually to red cherry and citrus peel, while gentle minerality and a whisper of spice (maybe saffron or baking spice) extend the structural impression. The wine leaves a fresh, refined impression without heaviness.

Quick Overview

"A grand bottle of pink Champagne, round and luscious. The flavors come on like a cherry cordial, with exceptional Pinot Noir character and finesse. It is a seductive, elegant and textured wine that shows a level of detail and length that only the finest examples achieve. Subtle but very rewarding." Wine Enthusiast 93 Points

"Mature notes suggest more reserve wine in this complex, elegant version. Dried fruit, spice and woodsy flavors are backed by a firm structure. The fine texture and long finish combine for a terrific overall impression." Wine Spectator 92 Points
