The production of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée in magnum
Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée in magnum is made using only the first pressings to guarantee optimal quality. The blend is based on 50 to 55% Chardonnay, which brings freshness and subtlety, complemented by 30 to 35% Pinot Noir for structure, and 15 to 20% Meunier, adding a touch of roundness and fruitiness. Reserve wines, representing 20 to 30% of the blend, ensure the continuity of the Laurent-Perrier style.
Over 100 carefully selected crus go into the composition of this cuvée, and its long aging in the cellar allows it to acquire aromatic complexity while preserving its freshness. The low dosage used highlights the balance and finesse of the champagne. In magnum, the aromatic palette becomes broader and more expressive, offering a richer and more nuanced tasting experience.
