Champagne Vincent Perseval – Premier Cru from Jouy-lès-Reims

Champagne Vincent Perseval

Champagne Vincent Perseval is a Récoltant-Manipulant from Jouy-lès-Reims in the Montagne de Reims. The village is classified as Premier Cru. The maison is run by Céline & Vincent Perseval.

Vignoble & Terroir

The vineyards are located in Jouy-lès-Reims, the family's home village. Additional parcels outside the village are possible, but not documented. The village's Premier Cru classification is the foundation for all classified cuvées.

Vinification

Vincent Perseval employs significantly longer lees aging than the Champagne average. The documented cuvées mature 4 to 9 years sur lie – the Brut Réserve Premier Cru for 9 years, the Brut Tradition for 8 years, the Blanc de Noirs 2019 for 4 years. This extended aging develops the typical brioche, honey, and almond notes that run through the range. Dosage ranges between 6.4 g/l (Extra Brut) and 11.2 g/l (Rosé Assemblage).

The Cuvées in Detail

Assemblage of 40% Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay. After 8 years of lees aging, this cuvée shows ripe yellow fruits, brioche, floral honey and an ultra-fine mousse. The long aging clearly rounds out the texture.
