The creation of the Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2012 champagne in magnum

The Brut Millésimé 2012 in magnum is the result of a blend of 50% Chardonnay, from the Grand Crus of the Côte des Blancs such as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant, and Chouilly, and 50% Pinot Noir from the best crus of the Montagne de Reims, including Bouzy, Ay, Verzy, and Mailly. This subtle marriage between the freshness of Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Noir gives this cuvée a unique balance, both delicate and powerful.

The year 2012 was marked by difficult climatic conditions, ranging from winter frost to hailstorms in the spring. Despite these challenges, the summer offered perfect ripening conditions, resulting in a high-quality harvest. The grapes, harvested at full maturity, allowed the creation of a champagne with great depth and beautiful complexity. After vinification, the cuvée rests for many years in the cellar to reach perfect maturity before being marketed.
