The Making of Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2012 Champagne

The Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2012 is the result of a balanced blend composed equally of Chardonnay (50%) and Pinot Noir (50%). The Chardonnay comes from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs such as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant, and Chouilly, while the Pinot Noir is from the Crus of the Montagne de Reims, including Bouzy, Ay, Verzy, Mailly, and Rilly-la-Montagne.

The year 2012 was characterized by a rainy spring and a gloomy start to summer. But from mid-August onwards, summer settled in Champagne, bringing very dry weather and warm temperatures until the end of the harvest. The yield of the 2012 harvest was relatively modest, thus contributing to concentrated wines. This combination of natural factors allowed the creation of a champagne of rare complexity, with great aromatic richness. The Brut Millésimé 2012 rests in the cellar for several years before reaching its full maturity.
