About the producer
Laurent Perrier is one of Champagne's largest independent houses, known for elegant, food-friendly wines made with precision and restraint.
About the year
Champagne blends wines from multiple years to achieve consistency. This cuvée balances freshness with the subtle complexity that comes from time on the yeast.
Grape characteristics
A blend of Champagne's three main grapes: Chardonnay brings finesse and citrus, Pinot Noir adds structure and red fruit, Pinot Meunier contributes softness and early appeal.
About the region
Champagne's cool climate and chalky soil create the high acidity and mineral character that make sparkling wine so food-friendly and age-worthy.
Tasting profile
Expect red berry fruit, citrus zest and a touch of brioche from the yeast. The wine is dry, with a creamy texture and a clean, persistent finish.
