The Making of Grand Siècle n°23 Laurent-Perrier Champagne

The Grand Siècle n°23 is a cuvée crafted according to a unique philosophy in Champagne: blending several vintages to recreate the perfect year. This 23rd iteration is the result of a blend of three complementary years, each selected for its particular qualities. Thus, 65% of the vintage 2006 brings finesse with rich and complex Chardonnays, and aromatic richness with Pinot Noirs with red fruit aromas. The vintage 2004 completes the blend at 20%. This vintage offers freshness and structure. Finally, the year 2002 (15%) brings the tension and structure of the beautiful Chardonnays of this vintage.

The blend is based on 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir exclusively from nine exceptional Grand Crus. We find the terroirs of Avize, Cramant, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Ambonnay, Bouzy, Verzy, Tours-sur-Marne, and Mailly.

The vinification of Grand Siècle n°23 is carried out in stainless steel vats to preserve tension and freshness. A Brut dosage set at 7 g/L, allowing the purity of the aromas to be preserved. The wine benefits from prolonged aging in the cellar for several years, guaranteeing an unparalleled aromatic depth and richness.
