Laurent Perrier La Cuvee Brut Non Vintage Champagne in Gift Box, 150 cl

Champagne Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 but the story is really one of modern renaissance. In 1939 Eugenie Laurent sold the House to the de Nonancourt family and in 1948 Madame de Nonancourt passed control of the House to her son Bernard. Full of energy and ideas, Bernard was unafraid to challenge convention and had a modern vision of a champagne style that was lighter on the palate and could be enjoyed any time. He brought innovation and a pioneering spirit to the House, and so the Laurent-Perrier style of elegance and freshness was born. His legacy lives on through his daughters who manage the House today. This wine comes from the purest grape juice and it alone allows Laurent-Perrier to craft La Cuvee, a champagne of great finesse and beautiful freshness obtained after a long ageing process in our cellars. La Cuvee defines the House style and serves as an ideal introduction to our wines with its characteristic lightness, freshness and elegance. La Cuvee’s finesse is due to the predominance of Chardonnay (55%*),which is blended with smaller amounts of Pinot Noir (35%*) and Meunier (10%*). It is a blend of over 100 crus* and up to 30%* reserve wines to ensure a consistent House style. It is aged in the cellars for a minimum of four years before being released as it reaches perfect maturity. La Cuvee is pale gold with a steady stream of fine bubbles. The nose has delicate aromas of citrus fruits, underpinned by hints of white flowers. A perfect balance between freshness and finesse, the palate is full-bodied, complex and creamy, displaying great length on the finish. La Cuvee is ideal as an aperitif, as well as being an excellent match for fine fish dishes, delicate seafood, and white meat and poultry.
