Highlight:

This is really something. Electric on the palate. The aromas are so complex with sliced fresh and dried ginger, subtle pie crust, tarte tatin and hints of nutmeg with some salted caramel. Toasted bread, too. Always subtle. The palate is full-to medium-bodied yet hemmed-in with a freshness and balance that draws you back. Savory and vibrant. It's full of energy. Spectacular. Fascinating. Symphonic blend of 2012, 2008 and 2007.65% of the 2012, 25% of the 2008 and 10% of the 2007. Eight grand cru. Chardonnay 58% and 42% pinot noir. Disgorged February 2023. 10 years on the lees. 7g/L dosage. - James Suckling

Description

Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle No. 26 Brut is the house’s prestigious multi-vintage cuvée, crafted exclusively from eight Grand Cru villages. This iteration masterfully blends three exceptional vintages with a majority of Chardonnay complemented by Pinot Noir from the finest limestone terroirs of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. Aged ten years on lees with a low dosage of 7 g/l, it reveals a complex bouquet of honeysuckle, lemon, clementine and fresh butter, evolving into notes of hazelnut and honey. The palate is delicate yet silky and mineral, with candied citrus, flaked almonds and remarkable freshness, tension and length. A refined and harmonious prestige champagne that perfectly expresses the elegance, purity and timeless style of Laurent-Perrier.
