The distinction of producing only exceptional vintages pays homage to this historic event with its Brut Millésime, an exceptional cuvée of rare craftsmanship. Made from 50% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and 50% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards, this Champagne displays impressive stylistic coherence, so much so that Michel Fauconnet, cellar master at LP, calls this cuvée "the best I've ever vinified in my life." This is due to the vintage, of course, but also to a House that, since 1812, has continued to offer flavor combinations that are difficult to replicate!
Champagne Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé displays a brilliant straw yellow color, with vibrant bubbles that flow down the glass and crackle on the nose, opening to aromas of medlar, citron peel, and mapo, followed by face powder and chalk, toasted hazelnuts, almonds, and aromatic herbs. The palate is full, creamy, incredibly smooth yet powerful, with a fresh yet savory character. It displays an effervescent texture so dense yet delicate that it caresses the palate. A long, savory finish cleanses.
A hit on the table, pairing beautifully with anything, it pairs beautifully with white meats, shellfish, and crustaceans. It's especially good with buffalo mozzarella and savory pies.
