✨ wine.spec_sheet
Laurent-Perrier, founded in 1812, is renowned for its signature style of freshness, lightness, and elegance, largely shaped by the visionary Bernard de Nonancourt. The Brut Millesime Degorgement Tardif represents an elite expression of this philosophy. Sourced from prestigious Grand Cru vineyards across the Cote des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, this late-disgorged vintage Champagne is typically a balanced blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. While standard vintage Champagnes spend several years on the lees, the Degorgement Tardif is left to mature in the house's cool chalk cellars in Tours-sur-Marne for over a decade. This extended contact with the yeast autolytically transforms the wine, imbuing it with extraordinary layers of toasted brioche, honeyed nuts, and candied citrus, while preserving a remarkable, youthful vivacity.
