Laurent-Perrier Description
The Vintage is the choice of an exceptional year from which selected Grands Crus of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir will enter into a future iteration of Grand Siècle. It is a rare and outstanding wine that expresses the character of the year in the Laurent-Perrier style.
2008 was characterized by a cold but not harsh winter and a dull and rainy spring. Harvest started mid-September in dry and cold conditions, perfect weather for healthy grapes which provided attractive Chardonnays and Pinots Noirs. These high quality grapes revealed an outstanding aromatic richness that augured well for an exceptional Vintage.
Grape varieties: Chardonnay 50%Pinot Noir 50%

On the palate it is lively, the wine has depth with a persistent freshness and notes of bitter orange and lemon on the finish.Best served between 9°C and 11°C.
WINE/FOOD PAIRINGS
