"This wine is on a roll recently. The 2008 represented excellent quality for price, as is the 2012...Really very attractive, another two years should see some extra smoothness and finesse."

- Stephen Pritchard, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy

 

Laurent-Perrier is the first champagne to be granted a Royal Warrant as purveyors of champagne to His Majesty the King!

 

Laurent-Perrier, family-owned, earned this prestigious award as pioneers of sustainable viticulture, emphasizing the art of blending to create exceptional cuvées like the non-vintage Grand Siècle, which harmonizes three exceptional vintages. Their range of cuvées embodies a unique and distinctive style marked by freshness, elegance, and purity, with a complex aroma and remarkable length on the palate. Defined by primarily Chardonnay with the expressive use of Pinot Noir, Laurent‑Perrier's wines are celebrated for their distinctiveness and elegance in the Champagne region.

A vintage that marks the producer's 200th anniversary, the Champagne is ripe with mature white fruits. It is an impressive wine that has richness alongside a tight mineral texture. Drink now. Cellar Selection — Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast

 

Elegant array of lemons, slate, biscuits, oyster shells, croissants and brioche. Precise and focused on the palate, with sharp acidity and tight, fine bubbles. Pure and youthful for now. 50% chardonnay and 50% pinot noir. Dosage 8g/L. Drink or hold. - James Suckling

 

The 2012 Champagne Brut is equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and has 8 grams per liter dosage. Since the 1950s, only 30 vintages have been produced by the house. The aromatics are reminiscent of a Burgundian feel, with pleasant flinty reduction, smoke, and vibrant green fruits of pear and citrus blossoms. Offering an energetic mousse with green apple, yellow plum, lemon curd, and wet stone, this wine is well-balanced and should continue to improve over the coming 15-20 years. - AF, Jeb Dunnuck

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

A blend of the 2008, 2007 and 2006 vintages, with fully 55% deriving from 2008, Laurent-Perrier's NV Brut Grand Siècle #25 is coming into its own today, bursting from the glass with scents of nectarine, pear, orange oil and confit citrus mingled with notions of buttery pastry, brioche, iodine, dried white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and incisive, with a fleshy core of fruit girdled by racy acids and animated by a pretty pinpoint mousse, it's seamless and harmonious, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
