Laurent-PerrierGrandSiècleIterationN°26Champagne75cl

Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Iteration N° 26 Champagne is Laurent-Perrier’s latest luxury cuvée multi-vintage.

‘Wine of the Year 2023’ by James Suckling, it is the inspiration of one man: Bernard de Nonancourt, president of the Laurent-Perrier champagne house for more than fifty years. Mother Nature may probably never provide the perfect oenological year, and for Bernard, the art of assemblage allows the creation of this ideal.

The idea of Grand Siècle is based on a single observation: nature will never provide the perfect oenological year but thanks to the art of assemblage, Laurent-Perrier can in fact create it.

Grand Siècle applies the following four rules:

Blending of a section of 3 exceptional yearsBlending of a section of 8 of the 17 existing Grand Crus in ChampagneA blend made from a base year ( the youngest ) and 2 additional years.A blend with a majority of chardonnay supplemented by Pinot Noir and benefiting from more than 10 years of aging in the cellars.

Assemblage:

2012 (65%) / 2008 (25%) / 2007 (10%)
