Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle

Laurent-Perrier can offer a Champagne for every occasion, a wine for every form of enjoyment.

Careful selection of grapes, full attention to all stages of the winemaking process, and ageing of each wine according to its needs, are the requisites for the development of the individual character of each and every wine.

To produce Laurent-Perrier’s luxury cuvée, Bernard de Nonancourt decided to concentrate on two of the mainstays of Champagne’s know-how: the blending of different crus (wines from separate villages) and from different harvest years.

The epitome of Champagne blending, Grand Siècle by Laurent-Perrier calls on wines from the finest growths and the very best harvests; years which have been declared as vintages by Laurent-Perrier. Made to be given or shared with friends and family it is a very seductive Champagne, totally enjoyable.

Grape varieties: Approximately Chardonnay 55%, Pinot Noir 45%

Crus: Grand Siècle by Laurent-Perrier is produced from about twelve of the most prestigious villages, such as Ambonnay, Verzenay, Mailly, Avize, Cramant, Chouilly and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.

From these Grand Cru villages, only the very best sites have been selected, and the best juices retained from the press.

The blended wine is then aged for at least seven years.

Appearance: Starry bright, with a brilliant yellow hue.

Aroma: Subtle hints of honey, hazelnuts, grilled almonds and fresh pastry make this a perfect wine to go with the finest dishes.

Taste: Powerful and yet well-rounded, this wine is rich and savoury, finishing with a deliciously fresh
touch.

The length of its flavours is remarkable. Grand Siècle by Laurent-Perrier shows a unique and balanced combination of depth and finesse.
