Grand Siècle by Laurent-Perrier is a prestige cuvée unlike any other, a unique concept. It is the only prestige cuvée in Champagne based on the blending of vintages, to create what nature will never give us: the perfect year. This cuvée is the 25th iteration of Grand Siècle created since its launch in 1959.
Grand Siècle itération N°25 is a blend of selected 2008 (65%), 2007 (25%) and 2006 (10%) vintages by Laurent-Perrier. This wine is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, and the grapes come from 9 Grands Crus chosen for their complementarity: Avize, Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy, Tours-sur-Marne, and Mailly.
The wine is blended at 7 g/L Brut, and benefits from 12 years of extended cellar aging.
This cuvée has an intense, brilliant color against a white-gold background.
The nose evokes intense notes of fresh citrus, followed by subtle aromas of grilled almonds and brioche.
On the palate, the attack is fresh and toasty, with a persistent citrus finish.
This cuvée Grand Siècle itération N°25 possesses exceptional aromatic depth and is the perfect accompaniment to top-quality produce and refined dishes, land-sea combinations, shellfish and noble fish.
