Laurent Perrier - Grand Siecle Cradle Set 75cl Bottle

Product Description

To produce Laurent-Perrier's luxury cuvee, Bernard de Nonancourt decided to concentrate on two of the mainstays of Champagne's know-how: the blending of different crus (wines from separate villages) & from different harvest years. The epitome of Champagne blending, Grand Siecle calls on wines from the finest growths & the very best harvests; years which have been declared as vintages by Laurent-Perrier. Made to be given or shared with friends & family, it is a very seductive Champagne, totally enjoyable. Grand Siecle is a blend of pinot noir & chardonnay, with the latter being slightly dominant. The grapes are supplied by twelve of the most prestigious crus or villages, all of them Grands Crus classified at 100%, such as Ambonnay, Verzenay, Mailly, Avize, Cramant, Chouilly & Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Within the vineyards of these crus, only the very best plots are selected, as are the finest musts from the pressings. The blended wine is then aged for about 5 years. It is brilliant yellow in colour, & has subtle aromas of honey, hazelnuts, grilled almonds & brioche, making it the perfect companion for refined dishes. It also pairs wonderfully with poultry & truffles as with veal & morel mushrooms.
