Champagne Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle No.26 Grand Cuvee
Champagne Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle No.26 Grand Cuvee
Country France
Region Champagne
Grape A majority of Chardonnay is complemented by Pinot Noir, with a maximum of 11 Grand Crus out of the 319 Crus in the Champagne region.
Case 3/75
- 3 exceptional years were chosen for their complementarity among the rare Laurent‑Perrier vintages.
- Aged for 10 years on the lees for the bottle format and a few more years for the magnum format.
- Vintage in Champagne is usually synonymous with excellence for Prestige Cuvées. Contrarily, Laurent‑Perrier believes that only the art of assemblage can offer what nature can never provide: the perfect year. The expression of the perfect year is that of a great champagne wine with long ageing potential that, over time, develops depth, intensity, and aromatic complexity yet retains its freshness and vibrancy. Due to the format, Grand Siècle in Magnum (150cl) is deliberately aged for a longer time on lees. This additional maturation leads to a further expression of Grand Siècle, which displays greater aromatic depth, density, and a silkier texture. Since 1959, Grand Siècle has been revealed only 26 times in bottle format and 23 times in magnum.

Winery | The « Grand Siècle » (Great Century) is the name given to one of the most prosperous periods (17th century) in the history of France. It is known for the capacity of man, through his works, to create what nature cannot. Louis XIVth, known as the « Sun King », created the « Château de Versailles » and its gardens by creating this harmony, balance, and perfection model. The symmetry and perspective of the « Jardins à la française », the capacity to grow Mediterranean fruits (especially Oranges inside the « Orangerie ») in such a Northern climate, creating the Grand Canal, the fountains and ponds with no nearby rivers are many illustrations of this ability of man to sublimate natural elements. The name of Grand Siècle was chosen for Laurent‑Perrier’s Prestige Cuvée based on this common vision to reach a perfection that Nature, on its own, cannot provide. |
