Laurent Perrier Grand Siecle Champagne

In 1955, Bernard de Nonancourt had the idea of creating a great cuvée by freeing himself from the Champagne conventions of the time, which required that a prestigious cuvée must be a vintage, that is to say, the result of a single vintage year. For him, the great cuvée of Laurent-Perrier had to have a unique style highlighting the art of blending pushed to a summit: "The best of the best with the best" as he liked to say. Cuvée Champenoise par excellence, Grand Siècle par Laurent-Perrier is a blend of wines from 3 great years vinified by Laurent-Perrier, from the best vintages and the best grape varieties. The Grand Siècle style combines finesse, power and balance. The idea of Grand Siècle is based on an observation: nature will probably never give us the perfect oenological year, but the art of blending can recreate it. Well beyond rare vintages, Grand Siècle is the choice of not one but three exceptional years with complementary oenological profiles.
