The Cuvée Brut

La Cuvée Brut is Laurent-Perrier's entry-level champagne and shows the house style very directly. 55 per cent Chardonnay gives it freshness and polish, and a long ageing in the cellar adds balance. The emphasis on Chardonnay is regarded at Laurent-Perrier as the core of the house philosophy.

In the glass you find citrus and bright fruit. On the palate it feels clear and fine, the perlage is restrained, and the fruit stays present right through to the finish. It works as an aperitif, and equally with poultry and delicate fish. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass or a tulip so the aromas can open up. If you are drinking as a couple, reach for the half bottle.
