100 points “This is really something. Electric on the palate. The aromas are so complex....Savoury and vibrant. It’s full of energy. Spectactular. Fascinating.” - James Suckling
96 points “This iteration of Grand Siècle is almost entirely composed of two of Champagne’s greatest recent vintages, so expectations are high. The wine more than meets them, tempering the generosity of 2012s fruit – ripe apricots, white peach, clementines and sunny, zesty citrus – with a pitch-perfect streak of 2008 tautness and structure.” - Decanter
The powerful, symphonic and complex Grand Siècle No 26 is a tri-vintage blend of 2012, 2008 and 2007, from 8 Grands Crus with 58% Chardonnay and 42% Pinot Noir. The bouquet exudes aromas of orange zest, lemon confit, brioche and baked apple with the palate showing notes of white peach, zesty citrus alongside rich buttery tones of sourdough and croissant. With an exciting and incredibly precise acidity and immensely long mouth tingling finish, each expressive sip will delight and fascinate whether it be now or in a decade. It's the most luxurious of aperitifs to be delicately sipped to enjoy all the radiance and brilliance of the blend, however, if joining forces with a few nibbles they must of course be of the best quality and refinement.
Having been founded in 1812 by André-Michel Pierlot in the village of Tours-sur-Marne it was then the Nonancourt family who have made Laurent Perrier the famous Champagne House it is today. Bernard De Nonacourt is credited with creating the house style, centred on freshness, finesse and elegance reflected in each and every one of its Champagnes. This unique Champagne House has created its prestige cuvée, Grand Siècle, not from one vintage Champagne but instead from a blend of vintages. Each ”iteration” is produced from three vintages, carefully selected by the Cellar Master, currently Maximilien Bernardeau having been passed the baton in January 2023 from the long serving Michel Fauconnet.
