Vintage in Champagne is usually synonymous with excellence for Prestige Cuvées. Contrarily, Laurent-Perrier believes that only the art of blending can offer what nature can never provide, that is, the perfect year. Grand Siècle is the expression of the perfect year - a great Champagne that has long ageing potential and over time develops depth, intensity and aromatic complexity, yet retains its freshness and vibrancy. Each iteration is based around 3 exceptional vintages from 11 Grand Cru vineyards. It is always made with a majority of Chardonnay in the blend, which is complemented by Pinot Noir, and each bottle is aged for a minimum of 10 years before release.
