Laurent Perrier Grand Siècle Brut Champagne 75cl Iteration No 27

The epitome of Champagne blending, Grand Siecle calls on well-balanced wines from the finest growths 'grands crus' and the very best harvests; years which have been declared as vintages by Laurent Perrier.Grand Siecle is a blend of pinot noir and chardonnay, with the latter being slightly dominant. The grapes are supplied by ten of the most prestigious crus or villages, all of them Grands Crus classified at 100%, such as Ambonnay, Bouzy, Mailly, Avize, Cramant and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Within the vineyards of these crus, only the very best sites are selected and the finest juices are retained from the press.

Interation No. 27 does not disappoint, with a slightly higher Chardonnay content giving more honeysuckle and candied lemon notes, the blend of Pinot Noir leads to the pastry, roasted almond and fresh fruity notes. Harmonious, long on the palate with refined minerality.
