Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Brut 0.75l (12% vol.)

For the Grand Siècle champagne (0.75l), Bernard Nanoncourt broke with the champagne conventions of the time, which stipulated that a prestigious cuvée could only be produced from one vintage. In his eyes, the Laurrent-Perrier Grand Cuvée had to have an unmistakable character that showcased the art of blending to perfection: "The best of the best with the best!" Three outstanding vintages from the best crus and the most outstanding grape varieties were created for this champagne cuvée (12% vol.).

Smell and taste

This outstanding Cuvée Brut from France presents itself to the nose in the classic Laurent-Perrier style: intense and complex aromas of candied citrus fruits appear at first, followed by notes of yeast pastries, roasted almonds and more subtle scents of honey and gingerbread. The taste is initially characterized by freshness and elegance and then becomes full-bodied with an appealingly balanced finish.
This fine sparkling wine is best enjoyed at a serving temperature of 10 to 12 degrees with a fine meal such as fish, veal fillet or truffles.

Production

Grand Siècle Champagne consists of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir. A selection of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from 11 of the 17 Grand Crus vineyards was chosen for it. It is aged for at least 8 years.
Its bottle is a tribute to the 17th century, the time of the Sun King and a heyday of the arts, the Art de Vivre and the understanding of a new gastronomy.

Laurent-Perrier

Listed on the stock exchange but still a family business, Laurent-Perrier is one of the most famous champagne producers in Champagne. It was given its unique style by Bernard Nonancourt, one of the most important champagne players of the 1950s. He wanted to create an elegant aperitif atmosphere for the champagnes of the Laurent-Perrier house. He achieved this by steadily increasing the proportion of Chardonnay. To this day, you can recognize a Laurent-Perrier champagne by its complex character: citrus fruits, aromas of white fruits, plus notes of toast and cake - an incomparable blend of freshness, finesse and elegance.
