"Almost entirely composed of two of Champagne's greatest recent vintages, so expectations are high. The wine more than meets them, tempering the generosity of 2012's fruit with a pitch-perfect streak of 2008 tautness and structure."

- Tom Hewson, Decanter

Laurent-Perrier is a family-owned house that has always been a pioneer in Champagne. The house is known for its engagement in sustainable viticulture and its four strong convictions: blending, freshness, Chardonnay grape variety, and maceration. Laurent-Perrier has a range of wines that pair perfectly with French gastronomy. The company obtained Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne (SVC) and High Environmental Value (HEV) certifications in February 2018 and strives to minimize its consumption of resources at its production site.

The Grand Siècle is known as one of the most prosperous periods in French history, characterized by man's ability to create what nature cannot. Laurent-Perrier's Prestige Cuvée, named after this era, embodies the common vision of reaching perfection that nature cannot provide. Iteration 26 is comprised of 2012 (65%), 2008 (25%) and 2007 (10%). It contains 8 Grand Crus, including 58% Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant and Avize and 42% Pinot Noir from Tours-sur-Marne, Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzy. It was aged from 10 years on lees in 750ml bottles.

This is really something. Electric on the palate. The aromas are so complex with sliced fresh and dried ginger, subtle pie crust, tarte tatin and hints of nutmeg with some salted caramel. Toasted bread, too. Always subtle. The palate is full- to medium-bodied yet hemmed-in with a freshness and balance that draws you back. Savory and vibrant. It's full of energy. Spectacular. Fascinating. Symphonic blend of 2012, 2008 and 2007. 65% of the 2012, 25% of the 2008 and 10% of the 2007. Eight grand cru. Chardonnay 58% and 42% pinot noir. Disgorged February 2023. 10 years on the lees. 7g/L dosage. Drink or hold - James Suckling 

Tautly textured, the Champagne is delicious with a poise between white and citrus fruits along with touches of maturity coming through. Drink this magnificent wine now for its great balance and intensity. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

A blend of the 2012, 2008 and 2007 vintages, the NV Brut Grand Siècle #26 is just coming onto the market. Wafting from the glass with notes of nectarine, peach and ripe citrus fruits mingled with notions of freshly baked bread, buttered toast, nougat, white flowers and clear honey, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a deep and rather broad-shouldered core of fruit that's girdled by racy acids and animated by a classy pinpoint mousse. This suave, complex three-vintage blend is the Grande Marque prestige cuvée par excellence. This bottle was disgorged in February 2023 with seven grams per liter dosage. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
