Joseph Perrier 1999 Cuvée Royale Brut Vintage Sparkling (Champagne)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $80
The ripe aromas are the sign of a wine that is rich, weighty and intense. This is a vinous Champagne, rich in full-bodied yellow and white fruits, definitely suggesting rich foods. Ten years on, it is developing well, but could be cellared for several more years.

Joseph Perrier 2002 Cuvée Josephine Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $175
With a majority of Chardonnay in the blend, Joseph Perrier’s prestige cuvée is light but mouthfilling, with a texture that shows a flinty character. The fruit is crisp, although it is softened by the dosage. However, 2002 is a great vintage, so this wine should be given time to integrate. Age for five years.

Joseph Perrier 1996 Cuvée Royale Sparkling (Champagne)
- $65
A full-bodied style, dominated by flavors of almonds, which indicate that this is moving from fruity youth to maturity. But there is still plenty of acidity there. Has a few years of life yet, but it is a pleasure to drink now.

Joseph Perrier 1996 Cuvée Royale Sparkling (Champagne)
- $55
A full-bodied wine, packed with tight, ripe fruit and with a light, fresh mousse. The wine is still young, very ripe and powerful, definitely needing long bottle-aging. At this stage, the blend is dominated by Chardonnay, giving the aging ability as well as the richness.

Joseph Perrier NV Cuvée Royale Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)
- $70
A pure, mineral-driven style, with a tight texture, hints of spice and cilantro, followed by vibrant acidity. It is a delicious wine, fine as an apéritif with its crisp, clean aftertaste.

Joseph Perrier 1990 Cuvée Josephine Sparkling (Champagne)
- $120
Aromas of walnuts and red fruits show that this is a still a young wine. And that is confirmed by the taste, which is full-bodied but still very fresh and, ripe rather than mature. With its blend of premier and grand cru wines from the hot 1990 vintage, it is almost more like a wine than a Champagne.

Joseph Perrier NV Cuvée Royale Brut Sparkling (Champagne)
- Online Exclusive
This is a soft style of wine, quite full, with fresh, crisp layers. It has some bottle age, but also some good, pure fruit characters. Elegant and light, which makes this a good apéritif choice.
