Laurent-Perrier Champagne Brut La Cuvee

Wine Enthusiast 90 points - Fresh and crisp, this is bright with acidity as well as warmer fruitiness. It brings out the dry Laurent-Perrier style, balanced by soft creamed apples and fragrant acidity. Light and fruity at the end, it is ready to drink..Roger Voss, December/2014

James Suckling 91 points - An updated and renovated NV offering from LP, this has bright white stone fruit aromas and flavors with a silky smooth palate and gently nutty build into the finish. Chardonnay leads the wine, while pinot noir and meunier deliver structure and reserve wines add depth and interest. Drink now..October/2017

The wine comes from the purest grape juice and it alone allows Laurent-Perrier to craft ‘La Cuvee’, a champagne of great finesse and a beautiful freshness obtained after a long ageing process in our cellars. Laurent-Perrier’s style and personality are defined by its very high proportion of Chardonnay. Purity, freshness and elegance - essential characteristics, expressed in this champagne - are a good introduction to the spirit of the House.

Champagnes of Laurent-Perrier are mainly based on Chardonnay, whereas Pinot Noir is a junior partner and Meunier is only a very small part of the cuvees. Chef de cave Francois Cotard tries to extract the maximum of the aromatic part of the fruit to keep the natural freshness.

Bernard de Nonancourt created the Laurent-Perrier style. To do this, he revived and took over the traditional ways of champagne, but also launched new approaches at both technical and blending level. He created a range of unique wines with their own history and personality. Laurent-Perrier is now celebrated for its style and the consistency of its quality, cuvee after cuvee.
