Laurent Perrier Grand Siecle Brut Champagne NV 75 cl

Product Information

The first release of Grand Siècle was a blend of wine from the 1952, 1953 and 1955 vintages, and the latest, just released in the past few months, is a blend of the 2006, 2007, and 2008 vintages. As the cuvée can not be labeled a vintage Champagne, as there is fruit from more than one year, the company identifies these wines according to a term known as iteration. I must admit I was not familiar with this word, so I looked up the dictionary definition which is “the repetition of a process.” This each new release of Grand Siècle bears an iteration number; this newest release is Iteration #25. Laurent-Perrier has been developing Grand Siècle since 1959, but 2019 was the first year that the iteration number was marked on the bottle. Une majorité de Chardonnay complétée de PinotNoir provenant d'un maximum de 11 Grands Crus parmi les 319 Crus de la Champagne. années exceptionnelles choisies pour leur complémentarité parmi les rares millésimes de Laurent‑Perrier.

Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle No.26 Champagne : The Whisky

Laurent-Perrier’s NV Grande Cuvée Grand Siècle No. 24 is just starting to show the first signs of aromatic and flavour complexity, which makes it a very satisfying. Champagne for current drinking. Hints of apricot, lemon confit, white flowers and marzipan grace this wonderfully vibrant, inviting edition of Grand Siècle built on the 2007, 2006 and 2004 vintages. The Grande Cuvée No. 24 is silky, perfumed and classy all the way. Time in the glass brings out the wine’s freshness and energy.” Powerful aroma of orange peel and something in the putty/chalk spectrum. It somehow manages to be both tight yet approachable, dense in terms of flavour concentration yet filigree in terms of texture. As usual, it’s so Chardonnay! Overriding citrus character and quite amazingly long, a mouthful tingling on the palate for minutes not seconds. Enormous finesse. Massive pleasure. This would make the most luxurious aperitif. Michel Fauconnet, having welcomed the new chef de cave in January 2023, must be especially proud of this wine.” But at the same time, the wine is able to maintain a great deal of freshness and vivacity. That is for us, a signature of Grand Siècle. That is what we mean by recreating this perfect year. The blend of high quality allows us to have this richness in terms of aromatic complexity, but at the same time, a lot of freshness is maintained.Ein heißer, stürmischer Sommer und ein regnerischer September bringen einen schönen und eleganten Jahrgang hervor. Die Chardonnays entfalten blumige Noten und die Pinot Noirs sind fruchtig.

Let us know if we need instructions for where to find your house or want us to leave your wine in the shed! The 25th iteration of Laurent-Perrier’s de luxe cuvée, always a blend of different vintages in their quest to make the perfect champagne. Deep gold with the tiniest bead. Very pungently aromatic and with a texture as smooth as silk. Utterly luxurious. Slides over the palate with an undertow of surprisingly ripe Chardonnay. I’d drink this with a sophisticated fish dish, perhaps with a rich sauce. I love the gentlest of explosions on the palate. Surely this has a lower-than-average pressure? Very long. But it is not recommended for those who like their champagne on the austere side. This is to be launched in late 2021 but it tastes as though it was already gorgeous in 2020.”

Un nez très complexe qui mêle des arômes de chèvrefeuille, de citron, de clémentine et de beurre frais auxquels se succèdent des notes de noisette et une touche de miel.

Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle NV Champagne - Majestic Wine

après un printemps doux et un été chaud et sec, particulièrement bénéfique pour la qualité des raisins, la vendange s’effectue début septembre sous la pluie et révèle des vins structurés avec des Chardonnays vifs et frais et des Pinots Noirs charpentés. Der kühle, sonnige Sommer brachte komplexe, gut strukturierte Weine für einen hervorragenden Jahrgang mit hochwertigen Chardonnays und Pinot Noirs hervor, welche einen außergewöhnlichen Aromareichtum aufweisen. Une robe intense jaune clair aux reflets printaniers évocatrice de fraîcheur. L’effervescence est persistante avec un cordon de bulles très fin. A nose full of freshness with candied citrus, notes of chestnut honey, hazelnut and roasted almond followed by tobacco, truffle and toasted bread aromas.Laurent-Perrier’s imminently released NV Brut Grand Siècle #25 is showing beautifully, unwinding in the glass with an incipiently complex bouquet of pear, crisp stone fruit and mandarin mingled with hints of smoke, buttered toast and dried white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a fleshy core of fruit, terrific concentration and a racy spine of acidity, it’s a deep, comparatively structured wine that will evolve beautifully in the cellar. As I’ve written before, this iteration is a blend of the 2008, 2007 and 2006 vintages, with 2008 lending #25 its depth and structure, 2007 contributing additional cut and 2006 additional richness. While the #25 exemplifies the seamless charm of this bottling, it’s also one of the best propositions for long-term cellaring among recent renditions of Grand Siècle, and it will really reward time on cork” malgré un été mitigé, la chaleur bénéfique et le temps sec de septembre offrent des vins structurés dotés d’une belle longueur avec des Chardonnays aux notes d’agrumes et de fleur d’acacia et des Pinots Noirs fruités.
