This wine comes from the purest grape juice and it alone allows Laurent‐Perrier to craft “La Cuvée”, a champagne of great finesse and a beautiful freshness obtained after a long ageing process in our cellars.
Laurent‐Perrier’s style and personality are defined by its very high proportion of Chardonnay. Purity, freshness and elegance ‐ essential characteristics, expressed in this champagne which embodies the spirit of the House.
VINIFICATION, BLENDING AND AGEING
For blending, only the musts of the cuvée are used, so only 80% of the grape juice extracted from pressing.
Grape varietals: a majority of Chardonnay, over 50% Pinot Noir, between 30% and 35%
rounded out with Meunier, between 10% and 15%
+ Reserve wines between 15% and 30%* to ensure perfect
consistency in style.
Crus: “La Cuvée” is a blend made from over 100 Crus* selected by Laurent‐Perrier.
“La Cuvée” benefits from an ideal ageing of around 4 years in the cellar. Its balance and freshness are enhanced by a light dosage.
