✨ Technical Specifications
Laurent-Perrier's Grand Siecle, envisioned by the legendary Bernard de Nonancourt in 1959, represents a unique philosophy in Champagne: blending three exceptional, complementary vintage years to achieve the perfect year that nature alone cannot deliver. Les Reserves elevates this concept to the absolute pinnacle of luxury and patience. These are rare, late-disgorged iterations of Grand Siecle that have spent decades aging on their lees in the chalky depths of the Tours-sur-Marne cellars, typically in magnums or jeroboams. Composed of a meticulous selection of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages like Cramant, Avize, and Ambonnay, this cuvee offers an extraordinary dialogue between mature complexity and vibrant freshness. The name pays homage to the Great Century of Louis XIV, a golden age of French art, gastronomy, and culture.
🍾 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. Under the visionary post-war leadership of Bernard de Nonancourt, the house pioneered an avant-garde winemaking philosophy centered on freshness, finesse, and Chardonnay-driven elegance, famously adopting stainless steel vats early on to preserve absolute aromatic purity. Laurent-Perrier is celebrated for shaping modern Champagne trends, boasting an iconic portfolio that includes the trailblazing zero-dosage Ultra Brut, the benchmark maceration-crafted Cuvée Rosé, and the illustrious prestige cuvée Grand Siècle, composed from multiple declared vintage years.
