First Impressions
Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle No.25 Champagne arrives at £215.00, and at this price point, expectations are rightly elevated. 75cl / 12% - Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle No.25 is a blend of three vintages – 2006, 2007 and 2008 – creating aromas of oranges and lemons, brioche and grilled almonds that fill.
France's winemaking heritage needs no introduction, but the best producers continue to find new ways to express their terroir while honouring centuries of tradition. Laurent-Perrier is a name worth knowing in this context.
On the Nose and Palate
The nose offers delicate nose of white peach, fresh bread, and a hint of chalk and lemon curd. Moving to the palate, the wine is rich and layered, offering baked apple, hazelnut, and a creamy mousse with a dry mineral core. The finish is extended finish of toasted hazelnut, green apple, and a fine saline note.
Food Pairing and Serving
Equally at home as an aperitif or alongside seafood, sushi, or delicate canapés. Serve at 8-10°C in proper flutes or, better yet, white wine glasses to appreciate the full bouquet.
