Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle No.25 Champagne: Elegance Worth Celebrating
Champagne 12% ABV ABV Laurent-PerrierSpecial occasion champagne
Bought this for our anniversary and it was really lovely. Super creamy with a nutty, bready thing going on that I wasn't expecting. At £215 though, this is strictly a once-a-year treat for us.
Really smooth champagne
Tried this at a tasting event and it stood out from everything else on the table. Really creamy and smooth with white peach and a lemony richness. I'm more of a prosecco person usually but this was on another level.
Classy stuff
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something impressive for my wife's birthday. It's elegant and the bubbles are incredibly fine. The finish goes on forever with this toasty, slightly salty quality. She loved it, so mission accomplished, but I probably wouldn't buy it again at full price.
Expected more honestly
Got this as a gift and was excited to try a fancy champagne. It's nice — good bubbles, some bread and apple flavours — but at this price point I thought it would completely blow me away and it didn't quite get there. Would I turn down a glass? Obviously not. Would I spend my own £215? Probably not.
Nice but not £215 nice
Had this at a friend's dinner party and it's good champagne, don't get me wrong — the baked apple and hazelnut flavours are genuinely interesting. But I've had bottles at half this price that I enjoyed just as much. Hard to justify the cost.
