    Overview

    Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Iteration N° 23 Magnum


    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.

    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.

    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.

    Tasting Notes:
    Tasting Intense pale yellow colour with highlights evoking the freshness of spring.

    An intense nose with mixed aromas of candied citrus fruit, honey, summer flowers and a few toasted notes.

    The soft attack on the palate coats it with the sensation of silkiness. The finish has the freshness of candied citrus fruit bringing with it length and tension.

    Best served between 10/12°C to appreciate fully its aromatic richness.
