Laurent Perrier Grand Siecle MV Champagne 75cl

Vintage in Champagne is usually synonymous with excellence for Prestige Cuvées. Contrarily, Laurent-Perrier has always been convinced that only the art of assemblage can offer what nature can never provide: the perfect year. Grand Siècle is created from, not one, but three exceptional years which complement each other perfectly.

The expression of the perfect year is that of a great Champagne wine that over time has developed a depth, intensity and aromatic complexity, yet maintains its freshness and acidity. To create such a wine, Laurent-Perrier will rely on the characteristics of the great vintage years of Champagne: freshness, structure and finesse.

The idea of Grand Siècle is based on a single observation: nature will probably never provide the perfect oenological year but thanks to the art of assemblage, Laurent-Perrier can in fact create it with each new iteration.

Grand Siècle’s assemblage is based on 3 principles that have now become immutable.

• A blend of 3 exceptional years, complementary in character.
• A blend with a majority of Chardonnay supplemented by Pinot Noir and selected among 11 of the 17 existing Grands Crus in Champagne.
• A blend benefiting from more than 10 years of ageing in the Cellars.
• Grape varieties: Chardonnay 60%, Pinot Noir 40%.
• Ageing: 12 years on lees.
• Dosage: 7 grams per litre.

Brilliant in character with a white gold colour.
