✨ Technical Specifications
Grand Siecle is the pinnacle of Laurent-Perrier's winemaking philosophy, conceived in 1959 by the visionary Bernard de Nonancourt. Rejecting the traditional notion that a single vintage represents the ultimate expression of Champagne, de Nonancourt sought to recreate the 'perfect year' by blending three exceptional complementary vintages. Named in honor of the 'Great Century' of Louis XIV—an era that witnessed the birth of French haute cuisine and the refinement of sparkling Champagne at the royal court—Iteration N°24 is a masterclass in tension and depth. It brings together the stellar vintages of 2008, 2007, and 2006. Sourced exclusively from 11 prestigious Grand Cru villages, the blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir underwent over a decade of patient cellar aging on its lees, resulting in a Champagne of unparalleled complexity, striking minerality, and silky effervescence.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1812 in Tours-sur-Marne by André Michel Pierlot and established under its enduring name by Mathilde Emilie Perrier, Champagne Laurent-Perrier is one of the world's most prestigious and family-owned Champagne houses.
