Champagne LAURENT PERRIER HERITAGE 75 cl

Description

Laurent-Perrier Héritage: an exceptional champagne made from 100 per cent reserve wines

Founded in 1812, the House of Laurent-Perrier is one of Champagne’s leading names. With Héritage, it offers an original cuvée that draws on the founding principle of Grand Siècle: to create a champagne of exceptional quality through the art of blending. Unlike traditional cuvées, Héritage is crafted exclusively from reserve wines, carefully selected for their freshness, elegance and ageing potential. This unique approach results in remarkable consistency and exceptional aromatic depth. The blend combines 55 per cent Chardonnay – a grape variety that brings tension, finesse and elegance – with 45 per cent Pinot Noir, which lends power, body and richness. The grapes come from 40 crus, nearly half of which are classified as Grands Crus, before ageing for at least four years in the cellar.

The colour is a luminous pale gold, enlivened by a fine, persistent effervescence. The bouquet reveals aromas of lemon, white peach, yellow fruits in syrup, white flowers, toast, brioche and toasted almonds. On the palate, the attack is fresh and precise, giving way to a creamy texture where flavours of white fruit, citrus zest, wildflower honey and hazelnut come to the fore. The finish is long, elegant and perfectly balanced.

Served at between 8 and 10 °C, this champagne is the ideal accompaniment to langoustines, lobster, turbot, Bresse poultry, mushrooms or even a mature Comté cheese. It also makes a superb aperitif champagne for special occasions.
