Grand Siecle par Laurent-Perrier No 27 750ml

Product Info

Terroir
Rather than relying on a single vintage, Grand Siècle is Laurent-Perrier’s pursuit of the perfect year through the blending of exceptional vintages from Champagne’s finest Grand Cru vineyards. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are sourced from prestigious villages including Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, Ambonnay, Bouzy, and Tours-sur-Marne, where chalk-rich soils and a cool climate provide the foundation for wines of remarkable elegance, freshness, and longevity. The No. 27 edition reflects the house’s belief that blending outstanding vintages can achieve a level of complexity and harmony unattainable in any single year.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
Grand Siècle No. 27 is composed of three complementary vintages, each selected for its ability to contribute balance, structure, and finesse to the final blend. Extended aging on the lees far beyond Champagne’s minimum requirements develops extraordinary depth and texture while preserving the precision and freshness that define the Laurent-Perrier style. Produced only in limited quantities, Grand Siècle represents the pinnacle of the house’s winemaking philosophy.

Tasting Notes
Brilliant gold in the glass with an exceptionally fine mousse, the wine opens with layered aromas of lemon curd, candied citrus, white peach, brioche, toasted almond, and acacia blossom. The palate is expansive yet remarkably precise, delivering concentrated orchard fruit, citrus, and pastry notes supported by vibrant acidity and chalk-driven minerality. Hints of hazelnut, honey, and fresh-baked bread emerge with air, leading to a long, seamless finish marked by extraordinary elegance and persistence.

Food Pairing & Service
A Champagne of exceptional versatility and stature, Grand Siècle pairs beautifully with lobster, caviar, turbot, roasted poultry, and refined cream-based dishes. It is equally compelling as a celebratory wine on its own, where its complexity and texture can be fully appreciated. Serve well chilled, but not overly cold, to allow its full aromatic range to emerge.

Cellaring Potential
While already displaying remarkable harmony and complexity, Grand Siècle No. 27 has the structure to evolve gracefully for 15–25 years or more. With additional bottle age, expect deeper notes of brioche, hazelnut, honey, truffle, and toasted pastry to emerge while retaining the freshness and precision that make this one of Champagne’s most celebrated prestige cuvées.
