The Small Discoveries collection was launched in December 2014 at the influential global forum, Design Miami/ through the opening master work, ‘ephemer?’. The Blason Rosé coffret offers an exclusive experience to sample the charm of Small Discoveries, and enjoy a delicious glass of the floral, diamond-cut champagne.
Launching for Valentine’s Day 2015, this limited edition collectors’ piece offers champagne connoisseurs a moment of discovery and surprise. Showcased within a beautiful gift box nestles a bottle of Perrier-Jouët’s Blason Rosé cuvée and two champagne flutes decorated with a flight of winged insects, emblematic of Small Discoveries. Once filled, these elegant flutes reveal their dazzling secret: a winged insect engraved on the inside of the glass creates a visual point that encourages effervescence. The delicate engraving means the champagne bubbles cluster at the design, and spiral upwards through the length of the wine like an optical game. The effect is tantalising, and offers an element of surprise and intrigue.

About Blason Rosé cuvée
Blason Rosé is the first rosé champagne created by Perrier-Jouët. Its name derives from the ‘Blason de France’ range, created by the champagne house in 1956. It is a subtle blend of 50 different ‘vins clairs’ from the best of the House’s vineyards. The choice of ‘crus’ is carefully adjusted according to the harvest. An addition of 12 to 15% of reserve wines creates the consistency required to balance the Perrier-Jouët style with the climatic effects of the year. Built on the model of the Grand Brut Non-Vintage, which is driven by the intensity of the Chardonnays in the blend, Blason Rosé is enriched by the addition of red wines. The elegance and finesse of the Chardonnays (25%) blend with the structure of the Pinot Noirs (50% including the added red wines) and the fruitiness of Pinot Meunier (25%) – a grape with which Perrier-Jouët has acquired specific expertise. The cuvee ages for a minimum of three years in the cellars before a light dosage of 8 to 11 grams per litre is added, depending on the year. This champagne is to be served between 10° and 12°C. Its voluptuous freshness is delicious with salmon, red snapper or sushi, whilst its richness beautifully matches duck breast or lamb with red fruits like cranberries. It can also be paired with desserts combining perhaps red berry fruits, white chocolate and vanilla flavours.
