✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Grand Siècle is Laurent-Perrier's pinnacle expression, conceived in 1959 by the visionary Bernard de Nonancourt. Rejecting the traditional notion that a single vintage can capture perfection, de Nonancourt sought to recreate the 'perfect year' by blending three exceptional, complementary vintages. Iteration N°27 is a masterclass in this philosophy, uniting the stellar years of 2015, 2012, and 2008. Composed of approximately 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from 11 prestigious Grand Cru villages, this cuvée is aged for over eight years on its lees. The name pays homage to the 17th-century 'Grand Siècle' of Louis XIV, an era of unprecedented artistic and culinary refinement in France, and the wine is housed in a distinctive curved bottle modeled after historical 17th-century hand-blown glass. It offers a spectacular balance of tension, depth, and aromatic complexity, featuring notes of candied citrus, fresh honey, toasted brioche, and chalky minerality.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Champagne Laurent-Perrier blev grundlagt i Tours-sur-Marne i 1812 af André Michel Pierlot og fik sit blivende navn af Mathilde Emilie Perrier. I dag er huset et af verdens mest prestigefyldte, familieejede champagnehuse. Under Bernard de Nonancourts visionære ledelse i efterkrigstiden var huset pioner for en nyskabende vinfremstillingsfilosofi med fokus på friskhed, finesse og Chardonnay-drevet elegance. Som et af de første huse tog de tidligt rustfrie ståltanke i brug for at bevare en kompromisløs aromatisk renhed. Laurent-Perrier er berømt for at have formet moderne champagnetendenser med en ikonisk portefølje, der tæller den banebrydende zero-dosage Ultra Brut, den skelsættende macerationsbaserede Cuvée Rosé samt den legendariske prestige-cuvée Grand Siècle, som er skabt på et blend af nøje udvalgte deklarerede årgange.
