Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2008 is a rare and exceptional champagne with magnificent aromatic richness. It is a true wine for the table.
Laurent-Perrier rarely vintages, less than one year out of two, whereas the market vintages more than three years out of four. This wine expresses the character of 2008 in the House style.
The 2008 vintage is considered one of Champagne's greatest. It's a vintage that combines tension and aromatic power. 2008 was marked by a cold winter and a dull, rainy spring. Harvesting began in mid-September in dry, cool weather, yielding perfect grapes.
Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2008 is made exclusively from 50% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and 50% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims.
Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2008 has a white-gold color and fine effervescence.
On the nose, this wine offers mineral and chalky notes, and citrus and white fruit aromas.
The attack on the palate is frank and lively, with lovely aromatic depth (notes of bitter orange and lemon). The finish is superb, mineral and saline.
A very fine champagne with great ageing potential, to accompany aperitifs as well as gourmet dishes based on shellfish, noble fish or poultry.
