Laurent-Perrier

Brut Millésimé 1999 | Magnum 150cl - Wooden case

Description

Every vintage is an event at Laurent-Perrier, and this 1999 vintage is no exception. This cuvée respects the House's canons, combining freshness and elegance, airiness and richness. Exceptionally, Laurent-Perrier has opened the doors of its oenotheque to offer a few magnums of its Brut Millésimé 1999, to be tasted on April 22, 2021.

The 1999 vintage was characterized by severe frosts in November, with temperatures down to -14°C. Winter was a combination of rain, snow and cold, but also mild and sunny. Spring is a bit of a contrast, ending with a beautiful bloom.

This champagne is 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir, harvested from the Grands Crus vineyards of the Côte des Blancs with Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, Oger and Chouilly, and those of the Montagne de Reims with Verzy, Verzenay, Ambonnay and Tours-sur-Marne.

The 1999 vintage is bright gold in color.

The nose reveals floral and citrus notes. The palate evokes beautiful fruity notes of strawberry, supported by a persistent, fresh finish.

We recommend serving this exceptional champagne between 10 and 12°C, to avoid dulling the richness of its fragrances and flavors.

This Cuvée Brut Millésimé 1999 goes perfectly with smoked salmon or fruit desserts such as quetsch tart or mirabelle plum.
