Laurent-Perrier

Brut Millésimé 1997 | Magnum 150cl - Wooden case

Description

Each vintage is an event at Laurent-Perrier, and this 1997 vintage is no exception. This cuvée respects the House's traditions, combining freshness and elegance with an airy touch and richness. Exceptionally, Laurent-Perrier has opened the doors of its wine cellar to offer a tasting of a few magnums of its Brut Millésimé 1997, disgorged on April 22, 2021.

The year began with freezing temperatures followed by severe spring frosts, then storms and hail. However, beautiful flowering and a very hot August resulted in high alcohol levels and sustained acidity. Elegance and finesse characterize the beautiful 1997 vintage.

This champagne is made from 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, harvested in the Grands Crus vineyards of the Côte des Blancs with Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, Oger and Chouilly, and those of the Montagne de Reims with Bouzy, Verzy and Verzenay.

Only the cuvée is used from these unique Chardonnay and Pinot Noir crus.

This exceptional champagne should be served between 10 and 12°C to avoid dulling its rich aromas and flavors.

This 1997 Brut Millésimé cuvée is ideal with refined dishes such as fine fish or seafood.
