Royal Champagne as a gift!

The Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut in a gift box is the most beautiful and delicious gift to give. We can safely say it is a Champagne of royal quality. This La Cuvée is the official Champagne of the Belgian Royal House and also the calling card of Laurent-Perrier. They certainly set the bar high right from the start! Because what a beautiful Champagne this is. Pure, fresh, and elegant. Exactly how they prefer to make Champagne at Laurent-Perrier. What makes this La Cuvée unique is that, compared to most Champagnes, it contains at least 50% Chardonnay. Almost double that of an average Champagne! You can taste it in the elegance. This also makes it fantastic as an aperitif, with raw tuna, or oysters.

Tasting note Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut

When we speak of liquid gold, we are actually referring to this Champagne. Sparkling gold, that is. Fine, long-lasting mousse (the bubbles) and delicate aromas of citrus, peach, and white flowers. Freshness predominates, and you taste a delicious tart apple. Quickly followed by slightly sweet brioche, pear, and something earthy. Pure finesse! Serve the wine as a festive aperitif, with oysters and other seafood, or with poultry.

Vinification

The vineyards are naturally located in the French Champagnestreek where a cool climate prevails. The soil here consists mainly of limestone, which is called Kimmeridge here. The Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut consists of 55% Chardonnay, 35% out Pinot Noir and 10% off Pinot MeunierThe complete Champagne blend. The Champagne is made according to the Methode Champenoise or Methode Traditionnelle, where the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. The wine ages for 4 years in the estate's cellars before being released onto the market. The entire winemaking process is vegan!

Laurent-Perrier

In 1881, when cellar master Eugène Laurent inherited the Alphonse Pierlot champagne house, he provided it with the essential foundations needed to produce great champagnes, namely the houses and the land to create a fully-fledged estate. He purchased vines in the very best terroirs of Bouzy, Tours-sur-Marne, and Ambonnay, excavated 800 meters of cellars, and established a tasting laboratory.

Thus, Domaine Laurent-Perrier (the estate) became anchored in Tours-sur-Marne. This picturesque village is ideally situated at the crossroads of the three main wine-growing regions of the Marne department: the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne, and the Côte des Blancs. It is also part of the list of 17 Champagne villages in the prestigious ‘Grand Cru’ area.
