Description

The richness and complexity of a champagne excelling in the art of blending

The producer

Founded in 1812, the Laurent-Perrier Champagne House reached its golden age in 1948, thanks to Bernard de Nonancourt's dynamism. Under the leadership of this visionary businessman, the house stood out by producing vintages that reflected its values of excellence and innovation.

Since its very beginnings, the house has built its identity around Chardonnay. Through the freshness and finesse that it brings to the blend, this grape variety has become the signature style of this Champagne reference.

Laurent-Perrier's avant-garde approach is reflected in Grand Siècle and its multi-vintage blends, its Ultra Brut with a "zero dosage" style and also its Cuvée Rosé, the first rosé champagne in this category. These original "breakthrough" cuvées, each creation being subject to an event, mark a new page in the history of Laurent Perrier and its quest for excellence, for which it is internationally renowned.

The quintessence of Bernard de Nonancourt’s cherished values are in the Laurent-Perrier cuvées, unanimously recognised by connoisseurs.

The vineyard

Grand Siècle is produced from a selection of 9 out of the 17 Grands Crus from the Champagne region. The Grand Siècle from prestigious Côte des Blancs crus with Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Cramant and Oger and from the Montagne de Reims with the Ambonnay, Bouzy, Vouzy, Mailly and Tours-sur-Marne Grands Crus.

The wine

Grand Siècle by Laurent-Perrier is a prestige cuvée based on the blend and not on the vintage. Laurent-Perrier takes the blending requirements even further and believes that it is possible to recreate the perfect wine-making year, a year that would bring together the ideal balance between its different organoleptic components. 24 iterations of Grand Siècle have been created since its launch in 1959.

The blend

Grand Siècle iteration N°22 comprises a blend of the years 2004, 2002 and 1999 vintages made by Laurent-Perrier from 9 of the only 17 existing Grands Crus in Champagne and were all chosen for their complementarity. This wine is composed of a majority of Chardonnay (55%) completed by Pinot Noir (45%) and benefits from 15 years of ageing in cellars.

The tasting

Colour

A gleaming light yellow colour with a delicate effervescence that creates a fine thread of bubbles.

Nose

Delicious aromas with notes of pastry, hazelnut, fresh butter and warm brioche.

Palate

The wine offers an elegant attack, tense and balanced between freshness and salinity. The finish is long, lining the palate with the wine’s silkiness.

Service

For an optimal tasting experience, serve between 10 and 12°C.

Food and wine pairing

Grand Siècle itération Nº22 goes well with high quality products and refined dishes, land or sea combinations, shellfish and noble fish.
