Product Description:
Vintages in Champagne are usually synonymous with excellence for Prestige Cuvées while showing a large variation of style, expression and quality. Bernard de Nonancourt observed that he could not rely on their single expression to create the unique prestige cuvée he was dreaming about. He was looking for a perfection that none of these vintages were individually providing to him. He decided to look beyond the notion of vintages with the aim to create “the perfect year”, the one that Nature cannot provide on its own. With this wine Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Les Réserves Iteration N°20, he achieved this!
James Suckling : 100/100
“This is a beautifully complex wine. […] Energetic, yet with a dense and oily palate. Lots of power. Sleek bubbles. So many layers to ponder over, with a long, umami finish. It’s Montrachet in nature and greatness. Love the roundness to the texture. Unique.”
Jancis Robinson : 19/20
“I was lucky enough to taste Laurent-Perrier's vintage champagnes 1999 and 1997 not that long before tasting this blend which is so much more complex and intense – as well as much fresher. Quite a feat! This is extremely vivacious while still being bone dry. Very, very complete. Satisfying, revitalising – what I'd call a sore-throat wine, so intense is its finish. […] The essence of Grand Siècle.”
