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’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.
Maceration , Vinification and Blending Grape varietal: Assemblage of vintage years 2008 (65%) , 2007 (25%) , 2006 (10%) • 2008: a vintage noted for its structure with high-quality Chardonnays and Pinots Noirs revealing an outstanding aromatic richness.
Sensory Characteristics: Brilliant in character with a white gold colour. An intense nose of fresh citrus fruits followed by subtle aromas of grilled almonds and brioche. The wine has a fresh and toasted attack. The finish is persistent with notes of citrus fruit. Grand Siècle iteration Nº25 has exceptional aromatic depth
Wine/Food pairings: Grand Siècle iteration Nº25 pairs with high-quality produce and refined dishes , in particular with shellfish or noble fish. Best served between 10/12°C to appreciate fully its aromatic richness
