Overview
Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Iteration N° 25 in Gift Box
Beyond rare vintages, Recreating the perfect year
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.
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.
2007: a vintage noted for its freshness, the Chardonnays are complex with aromas of white fruits and citrus and the Pinots Noirs open and fruity with a dominance of yellow fruit.
2006: a vintage noted for its finesse with rich, complex Chardonnays and Pinots Noirs with red fruit aromas.
Iteration 25 is based on the highly regarded vintages of 2008 (65%), 2007 (25%) and 2006 (10%), the highest percentage of Chardonnay (60%) ever used in an Iteration (55% for Iteration 24 and 58% for Iteration 23) and from a selection of 9 Grand Crus.
The wine is showing incredible precision with textures of white fruits, citrus undertones, buttery brioche. The perfect balance between structure, richness and acidity.
Even after 12 years aging on the lees, Iteration 25 is a wine that will evolve and mature beautifully given more cellar time.

Chardonnay 60%, Pinot Noir 40%.
Crus: an assemblage from a selection of 9 of the 17 Grands Crus.

Tasting Notes:
