Fleur de Champagne draws its defining character from Grand Cru Chardonnay grown in Cramant and Avize on the Côte des Blancs, complemented by Pinot Noir from Aÿ and Mailly-Champagne and a small portion of Pinot Meunier. The blend is approximately 50% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir, and 5% Meunier — manually harvested, fermented in thermoregulated stainless steel vats with full malolactic fermentation, and aged on the lees for a minimum of 60 months. The dominance of Cramant Chardonnay is so pronounced that it effectively defines the house style, giving Fleur de Champagne its signature transparency and floral precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with creamy lemon curd and baked apple before lifting into delicate white-rose, jasmine, and sweet pastry dough.

A 97-point score from James Suckling on the 2013 vintage and multiple Global Masters Gold awards confirm that this is not simply a beautifully packaged bottle — it is one of the most consistently well-regarded prestige Champagnes in production.

Now part of the Pernod Ricard portfolio, the house is known for its emphasis on Chardonnay finesse, though Blason Rosé takes a different path. The cuvée is assembled from roughly 50 different vins clairs sourced from the house's prime vineyard parcels, built on a backbone of 50% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, and 25% Pinot Meunier. Still red wine is blended in to achieve its salmon-pink hue. After secondary fermentation via the traditional method, the wine rests a minimum of three years in Perrier-Jouët's cellars before receiving a light dosage of 8 to 11 grams per liter. The expression traces its lineage to the Blason de France prestige cuvées introduced in 1955, which were originally designed for fine-dining service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe strawberry and red raspberry lead the nose, followed by more nuanced layers of blood orange peel, pink ginger, and a subtle smokiness.
