pure and ever-so-mildly tangy finale where a hint of wood appears

It will be at its best from 2013 to 2027

The explosive finish goes on and on

An intensely earthy yet elegant red berry fruit nose trimmed in an appealing touch of minerality that continues onto the delicious

Laurent Perrier, Grand Siecle Size:6x750ml pure and ever-so-mildly tangy finaleBottle. The 24th iteration of Grand Sicle since the 1960s, now signalled with a 24 on the bottle neck. 60% 2007, 20% 2006, 20% 2004, launched now. Mostly Chardonnay (55%) and Pinot Noir (45%), all grand cru. Disgorged October 2018 after 10 years on lees. Dosage 7 g l. Deep greenish yellow. Creamy, oaked Chardonnay sort of nose recalls white burgundy. Much richer than the Blanc de Blancs of course but with the same tight texture and filigree mousse.
