Comment

The story of Maison Laurent-Perrier began in 1881 when Alphone Pierlot bequeathed his domain to Eugène Laurent, who was then cellar chief. Eugène Laurent is starting to buy vines in Bouzy, Tours-sur-Marne and Ambonnay, and has a rash built in Tours-sur-Marne. "The cuvée" comes from the purest juice of the grapes, including a strong percentage of Chardonnay. For assembly, only the cuvées are used or only 80% of the extraction of grape juices. Over 100 vintages selected by Laurent-Perrier are assembled. "La Cuvée" has an ideal aging over 4 years in the cellar. The resulting balance and freshness allow a low dosage.

Tasting

A pale gold dress. Very fine bubbles fuel a very persistent foam cord. A delicate nose on aromas of fresh citrus and white flowers. The complexity of the wine is expressed on successive notes such as vine fishing and white fruits. A perfect balance between freshness and finesse with fruity flavors very present at the end of tasting. Service time: between 8 ° C and 10 ° C. This fresh and pure wine is perfect for the aperitif. Its citrus and white fruits notes and its remarkable balance supported by a subtle effervescence, make it a champagne ideal to accompany the finest poultry and fish.
