First Impressions
Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut Champagne arrives at £70.75 for 75cl, and at this price point, expectations are rightly elevated. A homage to Laurent-Perrier's famed 'Grand vin sans Sucre' from the 19th century, this is a dosage free Champagne with a crisp dryness that makes it perfect as an accompaniment to seafood
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 elegant nose of baked apple, hazelnut, and white flowers, with a creamy yeastiness. Moving to the palate, the wine is elegant and linear, with lemon curd, white flower, and mineral-driven acidity providing exceptional length. The finish is lingering and refined, with a final note of almond, citrus, and a dry mineral finish.
Food Pairing and Serving
Equally at home as an aperitif or alongside seafood, sushi, or delicate canapes. Serve at 8–10°C in proper flutes or, better yet, white wine glasses to appreciate the full bouquet.
The Verdict
Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut Champagne earns a well-deserved 8 out of 10. This is an outstanding champagne that delivers its blend with genuine conviction and craft. At £70.75, this sits in premium territory, and it delivers the quality to match. Whether you're building a cellar or simply looking for something excellent to drink tonight, this bottle earns its place.
