The production of Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2012 in magnum

The Brut Millésimé 2012 in magnum is the result of a blend of 50% Chardonnay from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs, such as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant and Chouilly, and 50% Pinot Noir from the best crus of the Montagne de Reims, including Bouzy, Ay, Verzy and Mailly. This subtle marriage between the freshness of Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Noir gives this cuvée a unique balance that is both delicate and powerful.

The year 2012 was marked by difficult weather conditions, ranging from winter frost to hailstorms in the spring. Despite these challenges, the summer provided perfect ripening conditions, resulting in a high-quality harvest. The grapes, harvested at full maturity, produced a champagne of great depth and complexity. After vinification, the cuvée is left to rest for many years in the cellar to reach perfect maturity before being released for sale.
