Laurent-Perrier – Grand Siècle Itération N°24 – 0.75 Ltr.
Champagne, France – 55% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir
A masterful blend of three exceptional vintages
The Grand Siècle Itération N°24 is a prestigious cuvée from Laurent-Perrier, composed of three exceptional vintages: 2007 (60%), 2006 (20%) and 2004 (20%). This champagne is the result of a careful assembly process, which aims to recreate the perfect oenological year. The grapes come from 11 Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The wine is matured for 10 years on the lees, followed by a year of rest after disgorgement. The dosage is 7 g/l.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the wine shows a bright, white gold color with a fine and lively mousse. The bouquet opens with complex aromas of citrus fruits and candied fruits, followed by notes of brioche, honey and warm spices. In the mouth, the wine presents itself fresh and delicate, with a perfect balance between power and elegance. The finish is long and full, with a lasting impression of fullness and finesse.
Food pairing
This champagne is ideally suited as an aperitif and combines wonderfully with seafood such as langoustines, fine fish dishes and poultry with truffle. Serve at a temperature of 10–12°C.
