Classic blend with roughly 50% Chardonnay, 30% PN and 20% PM. Pale lemon colour. Medium intensity aroma of lemons, apples, apricots, peaches. Medium body, fine mousse, flavours of apple, lemons, would prefer lower dosage, medium+ acidity, hint of bitterness.

I would drink again. Fair value (355 views) | | | Tasted by wdcwineguys on 12/27/2023 & rated 90 points: Enjoyed alongside caviar for Christmas dinner. Balanced, Champagne with a good level of dryness and not sweet. No formal notes, it was enjoyable. (1306 views) | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 12/25/2023 & rated 92 points: Wines at Paul's Xmas lunch: My contribution. Possibly '90s label? These old NVs can be a roulette but if the cork doesn't fail, they are pretty indestructible, Rich, toasty but the sweetness and opulence in its youth had mellowed to give a pretty linear wine. Not the most complex but so fresh and pleasurable. (1294 views) | | | Tasted by evanqian on 12/21/2023 & rated 90 points: vibrant and fine bubble, creamy and smooth texture. a little sweet, very enjoyable in the flight.
Ap 5/5, Ar 12/15, Palate 18/20, Overall 3+2/10
Total 90/100 (1013 views) | | | Tasted by mwneil on 12/10/2023 & rated 92 points: Full body wine, good bubbles, lots of flavor, drank with grilled Caribbean lobster, $125 on restaurant list, would drink again. (1261 views) | | | Tasted by quaffnov on 12/10/2023 & rated 91 points: No formal note......... (1197 views) | | | Tasted by puffinscellar on 11/25/2023 & rated 92 points: Pale straw yellow, lighter than many champagne cuvées, sets this one up as potentially a fresher style. Lovely mousse which lingers a bit before subsiding yet still providing ample texture on the palate.
The nose is classic champagne, with yeasty brioche, lemon, and green apple aromas playing more of a supporting role to roast hazelnuts and toast, and something gingery like fresh ground coriander.
The palate is fresh, juicy, and lively, with tangy lemon and crabapple flavors and racy acidity on the front end and a long, gratifying finish with echoes of toasted nuts and caramel.
A good value and worth reaching for on any occasion, the only real criticism I have of this wine is that more tension would make it an exceptional champagne. The freshness of the style is lovely, there’s plenty of aroma and flavor to go around, but just a tiny bit more malic would put it over the top. Good stuff nevertheless, and if a softer, more approachable champagne is to your taste, this is a great recommendation. (936 views) | | | Tasted by twavering on 11/16/2023 & rated 89 points: Always solid and drinkable champagne. Bright and notes of lemon. We drank it as a pre-dinner cocktail so to speak. (853 views) | | | Tasted by wineton.mee on 11/12/2023 & rated 93 points: Dug out an aged version of this, I don’t know what year this is made in but I absolutely adored this. So gourmand and crushable. Honey, caramel, lemon tart, apple candy and the acid very much alive and vibrant. Never mind that the finish is tad short as it should be. Before I knew it I’d already finished half the bottle by myself. These house NV cuvées can be so golden when given appropriate age. (993 views) | | | Tasted by Chris@77 on 10/31/2023 & rated 88 points: Looked for date disgorged, nada. For me this is less good than previous years. It lacks yeasty flavors and creaminess, richness, without interesting new ones ... citrus present. It also seemed a bit sweet with modestly almost short finish, PN %?. Maybe time will help but I only can store 100 bottles. Enjoyable on Halloween, just not what I expected from past. (885 views) | | | Tasted by slywka7 on 10/20/2023 & rated 90 points: Aromas of toast, baked bread, shortbread and mineral. Flavors of mineral, toast, cracker and yeast. Ends with a big mineral driven finish of 15-20 seconds. A rock solid Champagne. (923 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 10/10/2023: Crispy and fresh and fun. Delightful, energetic. (1171 views) | | | Tasted by forceberry on 8/9/2023 & rated 90 points: An older NV bottle from the early 1970's. 12% alcohol. Bottled in a 0,77-liter bottle.
Medium-deep golden yellow or pale bronze color. The nose feels old and oxidative yet quite attractive with complex aromas of bruised apples, some orange marmalade, light syrupy tones, a little bit of dried stone fruits, a hint of pineapple and a touch of browned butter. The wine feels rich, balanced and slightly off-dry on the palate with a medium body and complex flavors of apple jam and lemon marmalade, some zesty notes of ripe orange, light dried pineapple tones, a little bit of toffee or butterscotch, a hint of saline minerality and a touch of caramel. The wine is moderately high in acidity and there's a tiniest suggestion of subtly tingly mousse on the tongue. The dosage feels abnormally high for a wine labeled "Brut" - to me, this feels more like a Sec (or even a Demi-Sec from the drier end!). The finish is long, quite tertiary and somewhat off-dry with a complex aftertaste of orange marmalade, some pineapple tones, a little bit of saline minerality, light citrus notes of Meyer lemon and somewhat bitter grapefruit, a hint of incisive steely character and a touch of caramel.
A rather old and tertiary but still very drinkable Champagne that feels somewhat sweeter than what one would expect from a "Brut". Based on the somewhat marmaladey richness and quite pronounced tertiary notes that veer towards caramel rather than nuttiness, I'd say the dosage here is in the ballpark of 15 to 20 g/l rather than around 10 g/l. Not that it's a bad thing per se - I can imagine that residual sugar has helped the wine to survive in somewhat sound condition for this long. Although the wine has probably seen better days and is starting to feel a bit tired now, it is still in perfectly enjoyable condition, all things considered. (1024 views) | | | Tasted by super007 on 7/1/2023: France Trip; 6/29/2023-7/10/2023 (France (Paris, Burgundy, & Champagne)): Really enjoyable. From a full and a half bottle. (1587 views) | | | Tasted by ManhattanBeach on 5/23/2023: Acrux completion dinner (Kerridge's at the Corinthia): Unexceptional (1804 views) | | | Tasted by xyc on 5/19/2023 & rated 90 points: Delicately concentrated, delicately floral and fruity, lithe which some will find a plus and others a minus. A pretty face, timid, lacking an interesting personality. (1648 views) | | | Tasted by Vera Wind on 4/22/2023 & rated 92 points: Cellared for 2 years, which has clearly benefited this bottle. The complexity has deepened, the acidity is even more integrated and beneath the apples and citrus a sweetness of brioche and biscoff emerges. This is a wonderful wine and very affordable. (1689 views) | | | Tasted by Ardross on 3/19/2023 & rated 92 points: Much improved by three years or so ageing - good fruit and mousse, developing golden tints and a touch of biscuit -excellent (1843 views) | | | Tasted by VlgJeff on 12/31/2022 & rated 90 points: A New Year's Eve Gathering at our place: PnP, chilled. Disgorged in the second quarter of 2016 yet still quite fresh with overly vibrant bubbles. Slo-oxing for a few minutes in the glass calmed it down. The color was a clear light-medium straw yellow. The palate presented a good dose of lemon, some pear, yellow apple and minerality. The yeasty, brioche element of which we are least fond was held to a minimum, which made this bottle quite enjoyable to us.
This was our first bottle of L-P's NV Brut as we usually drink the NV Rose. (2091 views) | | | Tasted by chs2756 on 12/15/2022 & rated 85 points: 2년정도 셀러링

Laurent-Perrier: Innovator in Champagne
The Laurent-Perrier style is grounded in the vision of one man,
Bernard de Nonancourt, who began creating champagnes
underpinned by freshness, finesse and elegance as early as the
1950s.
Above and beyond the style, what defines the House of
Laurent‑Perrier is its role as an innovator and pioneer in ensuring
of the quality of wines in Champagne. In 1959, Laurent-Perrier
created Grand Siècle, a blend of three exceptional vintages that
complement each other perfectly to recreate the perfect year.
In 1968, Laurent-Perrier introduced Cuvée Rosé elevating
non-vintage rosé champagne through a totally new type of wine.
In 1981, Laurent-Perrier launched Ultra Brut as the perfect
complement to nouvelle cuisine long before the “Brut Nature”
category was even created.
In 1987, Laurent-Perrier presented an exceptional marriage
between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with Alexandra Rosé vintage
champagne.
In 2017, Laurent-Perrier unveiled the evolution of its Brut Non-Vintage,
“La Cuvée”, showcasing significant advances in quality.
In 2019, Laurent-Perrier innovated with Blanc de Blancs Brut
Nature, no dosage, by perfecting its knowledge of stainless steel
vat vinification.Champagne Blend"Champagne blend" is a classic grape blend that typically includes Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier in any proportions.
However, this blend can also include Arbane, Fromenteau (Pinot Gris), Petit Meslier and/or Pinot Blanc as well.Bruthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetness_of_wineFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

France - When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of consistent quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
Sub-Region:
Champagne - The French region of Champagne (including the cities of Rheims, Épernay, and Aÿ) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and wine-making traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range in sweetness ranging from an extra brut or brut 0, to the basic brut to demi sec to doux; some houses produce single vintage champagnes and others produce non-vintage (or incorporate wines/grapes of multiple vintages), often to preserve a specific taste; combinations of grape varietals; and colors, including a rosé. There are several sub-appellations, including the Valley of the Marnes river running from Épernay west, Massif de Saint-Thierry north and west of Rheims, Valley of the Ardre, the Mountains of Rheims (between Rheims and Épernay), Côte des Blancs, Côte de Sézanne, and Côte des Bar in the South. Champagne wine only uses three grape varietals (cépages): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.ChampagneThe vineyards of Champagne on weinlagen-info |
