Joseph Perrier: La Côte à Bras 2012
The unique and refined expression of a vintage Blanc de Noirs champagne
The property

In the shadow of its underground galleries, of Gallo-Roman origin and 3 kilometers long, the great Maison of Champagne Joseph Perrier continues a savoir-faire and respect for tradition handed down from generation to generation. Each of the parcels is vinified separately, so that each terroir of Champagne can express its uniqueness.
