Winemaker Notes
Grand Siècle Nº26, a remarkable release from Laurent-Perrier, seeks to achieve a balance and perfection that transcends individual vintages. Crafted from a blend of three exceptional years, the wine aims to recreate the ideal conditions of “the perfect year,” offering a harmonious and consistent expression of Champagne excellence.
The 26th iteration received widespread acclaim, earning a perfect 100-point rating from James Suckling. Its appearance is striking, with a white-gold hue and delicate, persistent bubbles. On the nose, it presents a sophisticated bouquet of honeysuckle, lemon, clementine, and fresh butter, with underlying hints of hazelnut and honey. The palate is equally refined, featuring flavors of candied lemon, fresh hazelnuts, honeysuckle, and flaked almonds, all wrapped in a silky, mineral finish.
Grand Siècle Nº26 is an ideal pairing for luxurious, refined dishes such as truffle, caviar, shellfish, noble fish, and white meats, enhancing the elegance of any meal.
Blend: 58% Chardonnay, 42% Pinot Noir.
