Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle No, 25 (Grand Cuvée / Prestige Cuvée)
A prestige multi-vintage Champagne of extraordinary finesse, depth, and composure. Citrus, brioche, chalk, and aristocratic length in a wine built to transcend the idea of vintage.
Crafted by Maison Laurent-Perrier, one of Champagne’s most esteemed and independent family houses since 1812, Grand Siècle represents the pinnacle of its blending philosophy. Rooted in the historic village of Tours-sur-Marne, the estate is renowned for its pursuit of purity, freshness, and finesse - hallmarks of the Laurent-Perrier style.
Grand Siècle Iteration No. 25 is a masterful blend of three exceptional vintages - 2008, 2007, and 2006 - drawn exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards. Combining 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, it captures the essence of Champagne’s finest terroirs from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims.
The result is a Champagne of remarkable balance and depth: luminous gold in color, with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and toasted brioche leading to a silky, mineral-driven palate. Aged over a decade before release, it embodies the Laurent-Perrier ideal - achieving the elegance of Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Noir in perfect harmony.
Elegant, timeless, and expressive, Grand Siècle No. 25 stands as a testament to the artistry and heritage of one of Champagne’s great maisons.
Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle No. 25 is one of Champagne’s most conceptually distinctive prestige cuvées because it is built not around a single great year, but around the idea that the ideal Champagne can be created by blending exceptional vintages together. The No. 25 iteration is based principally on the 2008 vintage, supported by 2007 and 2006, and that architecture gives the wine both freshness and breadth in a uniquely controlled way.
The blend is heavily Chardonnay-led with Pinot Noir support, and the style feels very much in keeping with Laurent-Perrier’s elegant, linear philosophy. This is not a broad, oxidative prestige Champagne; it is refined, chalky, citrus-driven, and meticulously composed, with long lees ageing bringing real depth without clouding the wine’s finesse.
This is a prestige cuvée for those who appreciate precision and concept as much as luxury. It belongs firmly in the top echelon of Champagne, but expresses greatness through elegance rather than opulence.
A dry prestige Champagne with very fine mousse, high precision, and a broad but beautifully disciplined palate. It has more depth and layering than standard Brut Champagne, but remains notably graceful and mineral rather than heavy.
