Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut

The brioche and cooked-apple and cream character really comes through here. Full-bodied and round with fine bubbles. Flavorful and intense. Vivid, bread-dough finish. This is four years on lees. 55% chardonnay and the rest pinot.

The nonvintage cuvée from this producer is definitely on the dry side. Like many Champagnes in the range, it has benefited from long aging before release, giving a wine that has richness as well as great fruits, hints of maturity coming through. Drink now.

Cette cuvée remplace peu à peu le Brut de la gamme. La proportion de chardonnay a été augmentée et la finesse est recherchée. Les notes florales dominent le nez et on retrouve cette fraîcheur en bouche avec un vin droit, qui ne manque pas de fruit et préserve la netteté du raisin.
