Laurent Perrier Grand Siècle Nr 25 Champagne cl 75
Vintage in Champagne is generally considered synonymous with excellence for Prestige Cuvées. On the contrary, at Laurent-Perrier, our belief is that the art of blending can enable us to create what nature will never give us: the perfect year.
The expression of the perfect vintage is that of a great Champagne that has developed deep intensity and aromatic complexity while managing to retain freshness and acidity over time. On this idea Grand Siècle was born in 1959. To create this wine, Laurent-Perrier will rely on the characteristics of great Champagne vintages: freshness, structure, finesse.
The Grand Siècle blend is based on 3 now unchanging principles.
Blend of a selection of 3 exceptional vintages chosen for their complementarity.
Blend carried by a majority of Chardonnay supplemented by Pinot Noir and selected from 11 Grands Crus of the only 17 existing in Champagne.
Blend that benefits from extended aging in the cellar for more than 10 years.
