Grand Siècle iteration N°22

Grand Siècle Iteration N°22 brings together three vintages: 2004, 2002 and 1999. Chardonnay makes up the majority at 55 per cent, with Pinot Noir alongside, both from 9 of the 17 grands crus. This blend reflects the ambition of Laurent-Perrier to bring the best together with the best. The wine rests in the cellar for at least ten years before it leaves the house. The elegant bottle with its curved lines and slender neck picks up the craftsmanship of 17th-century glassmakers.

On the nose, delicately honeyed peaches, smoked wood, iodine and musk unfold. On the palate it is concentrated and layered, with ripe red fruit, fine bubbles, a chalky edge and a juicy note. The finish stays tempting, with freshness, intensity and minerality keeping it in balance. We recommend 12 °C and a large white wine glass. At the table, seafood, fine fish or tender veal all work well.
