PERLAGE
Caviar, poured
with champagne.
(01) — The house
We have served caviar with champagne on Rue de la Paix since 1921. Eight caviars from farmed sturgeon, eight cuvées from eleven growers, and one rule: nothing between the grain and the glass but ice and mother-of-pearl.

PERLAGE
The word for the stream of bubbles in a glass. Ours are fine because the wine waits up to ten years on its lees in chalk. Move the mouse — pour some.

Champagne
The ritual · step 01 / 04
Ice.
Bury the tin in crushed ice ten minutes before. Caviar wakes up between −2 and +2 °C.
The ritual · step 02 / 04
Pearl.
Never silver, never steel. Mother-of-pearl, gold or horn keep the taste pure.
The ritual · step 03 / 04
Hand.
A small spoon on the back of the hand. Skin warms the grain to the perfect point.
The ritual · step 04 / 04
Pour.
Brut or zero dosage, very cold, in a tulip glass. Sip between spoons, never before.
