      Description

      The Grand Siècle Itération n°26 Laurent-Perrier is the ultimate expression of the art of blending, combining three exceptional vintages to create a champagne of unparalleled aromatic richness and elegance. It is an ideal cuvée to enhance great occasions and accompany gourmet dishes.

      The Making of Grand Siècle Itération n°26 Laurent-Perrier

      The Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Itération n°26 is the result of a unique blend of three exceptional vintages: 2012 (65%), 2008 (25%), and 2007 (10%). This blend allows for the recreation of what nature will never provide: the perfect year. The Grand Siècle cuvée is based on three unchanging principles: selecting three rare years for their complementarity, giving priority to Chardonnay (58%) complemented by Pinot Noir (42%), and allowing for extended aging on the lees to achieve unparalleled complexity.

      This 26th iteration thus combines 3 complementary years. 2012 brings elegant and balanced Chardonnays, as well as very fruity Pinot Noirs. The year 2008 offers complexity, tension, and great expressiveness. Finally, 2007 offers Chardonnays with notes of fresh fruit and Pinot Noirs with an aromatic of yellow fruits.

      The Chardonnays come from four Grand Crus of the Côte des Blancs: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant, and Avize. The Pinot Noirs come from the exceptional terroirs of the Montagne de Reims: Tours-sur-Marne, Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Verzy. The cuvée benefits from extended aging of 10 years on the lees in the Laurent-Perrier cellars, giving it its complexity and aromatic depth. The cuvée is dosed as Brut, allowing for the perfect balance of aromas.

      Tasting the Cuvée

      • Appearance

        The Grand Siècle Itération n°26 boasts an intense and brilliant appearance, adorned with delicate and persistent bubbles.

      • Nose

        The nose is very complex, offering aromas of honeysuckle, citrus, and fresh butter. Notes of dried fruits and a subtle hint of honey are revealed as the champagne opens up.

      • Palate

        On the palate, the attack is both fine and fresh, then gives way to a silky and mineral texture. In the mid-palate, notes of candied lemon and fresh hazelnut are found. The finish is fruity and persistent.
