Grand Siecle (Gift)

It magnifies the taste experience of a noble fish such as turbot, and pairs admirably with sea/land combinations such as chicken with crayfish or truffled scallops.

Comprising approximately 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir, Grand Siècle by Laurent-Perrier is a blend of 11 of Champagne’s most prestigiou grands crus, all rated 100 %. The Chardonnays are from Avize, Chouilly ,Cramant, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The Pinots Noirs are from Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois, Mailly, Tours-sur-Marne, and Verzenay. From these grands crus, only the best grapes from the best plots are selected in the best Laurent-Perrier vintage years.

Cuvée Grand Siècle by Laurent-Perrier benefits from long cellar ageing of seven to eight years, and sometimes more if the cellar master deems it necessary, with an additional two years for the magnums.

Established in 1812 Champagne Laurent-Perrier has a long tradition of innovation in Champagne and can be credited with many of the ideas that have defined Champagne production since the mid 20th century. Laurent-Perrier was among the first to introduce stainless steel fermentation tanks to the region in the 1950s resurrected the non-dosage Champagne category with the introduction of Ultra Brut in 1981 and sparked the revival of non-vintage rosé Champagne in 1968 despite the opinion of other producers that non-vintage rosés were not to be taken seriously. Today Laurent Perrier's iconic Cuvée Rosé remains the benchmark for non-vintage rosé champagne. Laurent-Perrier has become one of the international leaders in Champagne based entirely on the quality of the wines and core values as a company. Laurent-Perrier is still a family-controlled business and makes nothing other than champagne. The house prides itself on quality and consistency attributable to having only 3 chefs de caves since 1949. Laurent-Perrier's house style emphasizes freshness elegance and finesse across its entire range of champagnes. None of the wines are aged in oak and Laurent-Perrier makes fewer single-vintage wines than many other houses. The art of blending - not just of grapes but of years as well - is fundamental to champagne. At Laurent-Perrier even our prestige cuvée Grand Siècle is never a single vintage wine but always a blend of three complementary vintage years essentially creating the perfect year.
