Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée 750ml

Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut is the archetypal expression of fine Champagne, crafted from grapes sourced across more than 100 villages in the Champagne region of France. This non-vintage brut showcases the house’s signature style, blending 55% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier to create a Champagne of remarkable finesse and balance. At 12% ABV, it’s made using only the first pressing of the grapes, known as the cuvée, which delivers exceptional clarity and elegance.

Founded in 1812 in Tours-sur-Marne, Laurent-Perrier has built its reputation on Chardonnay-driven expressions that emphasise freshness and purity. The house was among the first to adopt stainless steel fermentation tanks, allowing precise control over the winemaking process. Each vineyard parcel is vinified separately before blending, with reserve wines added to ensure consistency across vintages.

Nose: Fresh citrus and white flowers open the bouquet, followed by notes of pineapple, lime, and subtle hints of apricot. There’s a delicate mineral quality reminiscent of flint that adds complexity.

Palate: The wine shows remarkable balance, with flavours of red apple, vine peach, and white fruits. Mid-palate richness emerges with yellow peach and creamy texture, while the fine bead creates a soft, elegant mousse.

Finish: Toasted brioche and honey linger alongside subtle straw notes, giving a gentle, persistent conclusion that reinforces the wine’s refinement.

Pair Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée with shrimp cocktail, fried calamari, turbot, or a cheese platter for a classic match.

Serve chilled between 8°C and 10°C in a flute or tulip-shaped Champagne glass to preserve the delicate bubbles and aromas.

Ideal as a celebratory aperitif, a thoughtful gift for Champagne enthusiasts, or the centrepiece of special occasions when only proper French Champagne will do.
