Laurent-Perrier's Millésime 2006 is a champagne of character, with fruity aromas and a lovely impression of freshness.
Laurent-Perrier rarely vintages its wines, concentrating only on the most exceptional years. When making this cuvée, the Cellar Master seeks to fully express the year and its characteristics.
Laurent-Perrier Vintage 2006 is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims terroirs (Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Louvois and Bouzy) and 50% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs (Chouilly, Cramant, Oger and Le Mesnil sur Oger). A selection of the finest terroirs in Champagne.
The 2006 Chardonnays are characterized by rich, complex aromas of white fruit and citrus, offering finesse and elegance. These grapes are well-balanced and have superb ageing potential.
The Pinot Noir will bring its richness and aromas of red fruits and cherries, as well as a touch of complexity.
Millésime 2006 Laurent-Perrier has a golden color and very fine bubbles.
On the nose, fresh fruit aromas evolve with warming to hints of pineapple, dried apricot and almond.
On the palate, the attack is elegant and round, with a fine balance between freshness and intensity. The palate is reminiscent of white peach and mirabelle plum.
A champagne to accompany fish in sauce or poultry.
