Laurent- Perrier Brut 'Heritage' NV Champagne, France

Laurent-Perrier's innovative Héritage represents a groundbreaking achievement as the first Brut champagne from a Grande Marque made entirely from reserve wines. Born from the expertise behind Grand Siècle, this exceptional cuvée blends reserve wines from 40 crus across Champagne, with half sourced from Grand Cru vineyards. This masterful expression embodies the house's philosophy of creating perfection through the art of blending, offering extraordinary complexity and depth with the freshness and elegance that defines Laurent-Perrier's style.

Tasting Notes

White gold in color with fine, persistent effervescence. The nose reveals enticing aromas of lemon, white peach, and fruit syrup, followed by toasted bread and roasted almonds. On the palate, fresh citrus zest and white stone fruits intertwine with succulent apricot and pear, supported by a backbone of crisp green apple and tropical notes. The texture is medium-bodied and creamy, with chiseled acidity leading to a long, minerally finish accented by delicate ginger and anise.

Pairs With

Poultry pie with mushrooms, turbot with champagne sauce, langoustine and spider crab, truffle and forest mushroom dishes
