The Cuvée Brut

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

In the glass you find citrus and pale fruit. On the palate it is clear and fine, the mousse is restrained, and the fruit stays present 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 develop. If you are drinking for two, reach for the half bottle.
