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.
Producer Information
Laurent-Perrier is one of Champagne’s most famous houses, founded in 1812 in the village of Tours-sur-Marne. Its house style is known for its finesse and elegance, based around an emphasis on the Chardonnay variety in all but the ros wines.Chardonnay accounts for 55 percent of the blend in La Cuve (the renamed Brut Non-Vintage). This proportion was increased from 2004 when the company gained access to some additional Chardonnay vineyards. Recently the level of sugar in the dosage has dropped from 12.5 to nine grams per liter.Across the range, Pinot Noir is used to provide structure and longevity. Pinot Meunier is only used in small proportions in La Cuve Brut and the Harmony Demi-Sec labels.The Brut Vintage is made less often than is the case for some houses. Both this and the Ultra Brut (a brut nature / zero dosage wine) are typically made from equal parts of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
