For blending, only the musts of the Cuvée are used, so only 80% of the grape juice is extracted from pressing.

Grape varietals:

      a majority of Chardonnay, over 50% Pinot Noir, between 30% and 35% rounded out with Meunier, between 10% and 15%.  + Reserve wines between 15% and 30%* to ensure perfect consistency in style.

Crus:

       “La Cuvée” is a blend made from over 100 Crus* selected by Laurent‑Perrier.

        “La Cuvée” benefits from an ideal ageing of around 4 years in the cellar. Its balance and freshness are enhanced by a light dosage.

A pale gold colour. Fine bubbles feed a persistent mousse.   A delicate nose with hints of fresh citrus and white flowers.  The wine’s complexity is expressed in successive notes such as those of vine peach and white fruit. A perfect balance between freshness and delicacy with fruity flavours very present on the finish.
Best served between 8°C and 10°C.

The brioche and cooked-apple and cream character really comes through here. Full-bodied and round with fine bubbles. Flavorful and intense. Vivid, bread-dough finish. This is four years on lees. 55% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot.

Refined, with a sweet, smoky undercurrent to the flavors of glazed pear, candied lemon zest and golden raisin, with a hint of marzipan. Racy acidity frames?but doesn't dominate the wine, with a spicy note lingering on the finish.

A fine bead in the glass, it shows a bit more warm, round fruit than in previous bottlings, leading into a slightly bitter finish of citrus rind, lime zest and wet stone. —Paul Gregutt
