Laurent-Perrier Millésimé Brut Vintage 2015 75 cl.

Laurent-Perrier Millésimé Brut Vintage 2015 is a vintage Champagne crafted exclusively from grand cru fruit – around 50% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and 50% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims. It spent more than seven years ageing on its lees before disgorgement and is bottled as a Brut with a dosage of about 8 g/l. This is a structured yet refined wine that captures both the power and elegance of the 2015 vintage in the Laurent-Perrier style.

Nose

The colour is white-gold with very fine, persistent bubbles. The bouquet is complex and expressive, showing:

• candied lemon and ripe citrus

• beeswax, honey, honeysuckle and hawthorn

• fresh brioche, toasted bread and light almond notes

• hints of orange and subtle spice

Palate

On the palate, the wine is dry, creamy and focused:

• a bright, vibrant attack with citrus, white peach and stone fruit

• silky mousse and delicate brioche and nutty nuances

• chalky minerality giving tension and precision

• an elegant balance between Chardonnay’s acidity and Pinot Noir’s depth

The finish is long and mouth-watering, with lingering notes of peach, mirabelle, citrus zest and a faint saline touch.

Serving & food pairing

Serve well chilled at 8–10 °C in a fine Champagne flute or white-wine style Champagne glass. Ideal with:

• scallop carpaccio

• sea bass or other white fish with herbs

• roast chicken or veal with a lemon-based sauce

• soft to semi-hard cheeses

Delicious now, but with excellent potential to age and gain further complexity over the coming years.
