Laurent Perrier Brut Millesime 2015 (1x75cl)
The Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2015 represents a meticulous selection from a singular harvest, embodying the house's commitment to elegance and precision. This vintage Champagne is crafted only in years of exceptional quality, reflecting the unique character of the growing season.
The 2015 vintage in Champagne was marked by a warm, dry summer, leading to grapes of excellent ripeness and concentration. Despite the warmth, careful vineyard management and the region's inherent chalky soils contributed to maintaining a crucial balance of acidity, vital for the longevity and freshness characteristic of Laurent-Perrier's style.
Composed primarily of Grand Cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the blend undergoes extended ageing on its lees in the cellars, allowing for the development of complex aromatics and a refined texture. This rigorous process ensures a wine that expresses both the power of the vintage and the house's signature finesse, destined for significant evolution.
Tasting notes
The Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2015 presents a luminous golden hue with a persistent, fine effervescence. The bouquet is intricate, revealing initial notes of ripe citrus, white peach, and toasted brioche, gracefully evolving into nuances of almond, acacia honey, and a distinct chalky minerality.
On the palate, it is both powerful and elegant, with a vibrant acidity that underpins a rich core of fruit. Flavours of lemon zest, green apple, and a subtle nuttiness are complemented by a creamy texture and a remarkable depth. The finish is exceptionally long and precise, leaving an impression of refined complexity and freshness, promising excellent ageing potential.
