The Signature of Freshness, Finesse, and Elegance.
Experience the pure, fresh, and elegant character of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée, the signature brut Champagne from one of the most distinguished, family-owned Champagne Houses. This 750ml bottle is a testament to the House’s pioneering spirit and its unwavering commitment to quality. Celebrated for its remarkable finesse and lightness, La Cuvée is the perfect expression of the Laurent-Perrier style and an ideal Champagne for any and all occasions.
A Blend Defined by Chardonnay: The unique personality of La Cuvée is forged from a very high proportion of Chardonnay in its blend—typically over 50%, which is double the average for a non-vintage Champagne. This high percentage of Chardonnay provides the wine’s essential freshness, elegance, and purity. This is perfectly complemented by Pinot Noir for structure, and a touch of Pinot Meunier for fruitiness. To ensure consistency, up to 30% of reserve wines are also included in the blend.
The Importance of Time: Laurent-Perrier’s dedication to quality is further exemplified by an extended aging process. La Cuvée is aged in the cellars in Tours-sur-Marne for approximately four years before release—far longer than the legally required minimum of 15 months. This patient ageing allows the wine to develop its full aromatic complexity and signature finesse.
Tasting Profile:
- Appearance: A pale golden hue with a stream of fine, persistent bubbles.
- Nose: A delicate and fresh bouquet with inviting notes of fresh citrus (grapefruit, lemon) and white fruits like white peach and pear, with subtle hints of brioche.
- Palate: A beautifully crisp, light, and elegant palate. The initial freshness leads to a well-rounded and expressive flavour profile that is both fruity and complex.
- Finish: A clean, fresh, and satisfyingly long finish.
The Perfect Apéritif: With its remarkable balance, freshness, and finesse, Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée is the ideal apéritif. It is the perfect Champagne to kick-start an evening or to share with friends on a sunny afternoon in Halesowen. Its delicate nature also makes it a wonderful pairing for fish, seafood, and white meats. Whatever the moment, La Cuvée brings a touch of effortless French elegance.
