This is really something. Electric on the palate. The aromas are so complex with sliced fresh and dried ginger, subtle pie crust, tarte tatin and hints of nutmeg with some salted caramel. Toasted bread, too. Always subtle. The palate is full- to medium-bodied yet hemmed-in with a freshness and balance that draws you back. Savory and vibrant. It's full of energy. Spectacular. Fascinating. Symphonic blend of 2012, 2008 and 2007. 65% of the 2012, 25% of the 2008 and 10% of the 2007. Eight grand cru. Chardonnay 58% and 42% pinot noir. Disgorged February 2023. 10 years on the lees. 7g/L dosage. Drink or hold.
Producer
Laurent Perrier
André Michel Pierlot, a former cooper and bottler from Chigny-les-Roses, founded what later became the House of Laurent-Perrier in 1812. The house was purchased by the de Nonancourt family in 1939, and with respect for traditional values, Bernard de Nonancourt shaped the brand through his independent spirit and creative audacity. He revived the vinification processes at the house, reintroducing the traditional Methode Champenoise, as well as modernizing both the technical and blending processes. Headed by cellar master, Alain Terrier, the wines continue to show their unique history and personality through his specialized art of blending. Today, Laurent-Perrier Champagnes are known for their delicate freshness, elegance and heighten longevity.
