Grand Siecle Metal Jacket

This champagne pairs wonderfully with refined dishes such as noble meats, shellfish, and truffles. A specific recommended pairing is turbot à la plancha with watercress and pickled pear maceration. Its versatility also makes it suitable for veal with morel mushrooms or poultry and truffles.

The Grand Siècle is crafted from Chardonnay (58%) and Pinot Noir (42%) sourced from 11 Grand Cru villages, including Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, Avize, Chouilly, and Oger for the Chardonnay, and Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy, Verzenay, Tours-sur-Marne, and Mailly for the Pinot Noir. The vineyards benefit from diverse terroirs, contributing to the wine's complexity and richness​.

Laurent Perrier Grand Siècle is aged for 10 years on lees, which contributes to its complexity and depth of flavor. The extended ageing process allows the wine to develop its characteristic aromas and flavors, as well as a fine and persistent mousse​.

The wine is a blend of three exceptional vintages, selected to achieve the perfect balance. The base of Iteration No. 26 includes vintages from 2008, 2007, and 2006. This blending process allows the winemakers to combine the strengths of each vintage to create a harmonious and balanced champagne​.

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.
