Geoffroy believes that champagnes age in plenitudes. This super talented winemaker has a theory that champagnes in the wine-makers cellars head off on a period of change and development then reach a plateau before heading off on another journey of increased complexity and development. As such, great vintages of Dom Pérignon are held back in the cellar with the yeast inside the bottle to allow the wine to take on another stratosphere of complexity and depth.

Geoffroy believes that champagnes age in plenitudes. This super talented winemaker has a theory that champagnes in the wine-makers cellars head off on a period of change and development then reach a plateau before heading off on another journey of increased complexity and development. As such, great vintages of Dom Pérignon are held back in the cellar with the yeast inside the bottle to allow the wine to take on another stratosphere of complexity and depth.

His grandfather had instilled in him that champagne was not about vintage – that the great years possessed structure, finesse and elegance, but not always all three, hence the need to blend. His vision was therefore to produce a prestige cuvée in his style, a multi-vintage able to maintain consistent quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis he achieved by blending only grand cru fruit from the best crus in the finest years. Fifty-five years on, his recipe remains. It’s a blend of select plots, comprising 60% of the youngest vintage of more pinot noir than chardonnay, with two older vintages contributing more chardonnay than pinot. The glorious age of the blend places it among the oldest champagnes on the shelves. Sadly, the consumer is oblivious to all this, as the bottle gives no clue to either its disgorgement date or its splendid maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the Laurent-Perrier website declares only 7–8 years of maturity, when the truth is close to double. Despite a huge internal debate, the house refuses to budge on this. Such archaic secrecy makes managing collections a challenge, which is a shame, as Grand Siècle ages magnificently, long beyond its release. A full, bright straw hue with gold tints, this is a cuvée that boldly declares its maturity in both colour and character, brimming with luscious layers of crème brûlée, toasted meringue, tarte tatin, ginger, honey, blood orange and fig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA seamless and harmonious blend, it leads with the elegant finesse and youthful endurance of 2004 and continues with the depth and definition of 2002, bolstered by the richness of 1999. Ageing slowly and confidently, more than 12 years on lees has built a silky, creamy mouthfeel that contrasts layered, salty chalk minerality and subtle, well- gauged phenolic bite. It holds excellent length and line, nudging at tertiary complexity of toffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdiosyncratic and distinctive, at once lusciously decadent and at the same time elegantly strict, this is signature Laurent-Perrier and characteristic La Grande Siècle.

Some houses focus on the pinot noir grape in their champagnes which provides big, round and powerful cuvées and some houses focus on chardonnay, which provides more mineral drive, citrus and elegance. If you prefer the latter, then perhaps consider a bottle of Laurent-Perrier as your 'go-to' entertaining wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis maison has a serious history but over the last 100 years has had a long line of influential women at its helm (\u003c\/span\u003eMathilde Emilie Perrier in 1812 and later in 1938 \u003cspan\u003eMarie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt)\u003c\/span\u003e, and we cannot help but think that this has influenced the style – graceful, elegant and sophisticated.

His vision was therefore to produce a prestige cuvée in his style, a multi-vintage able to maintain consistent quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis he achieved by blending only grand cru fruit from the best crus in the finest years. Fifty-five years on, his recipe remains. It’s a blend of select plots, comprising 60% of the youngest vintage of more pinot noir than chardonnay, with two older vintages contributing more chardonnay than pinot. The glorious age of the blend places it among the oldest champagnes on the shelves. Sadly, the consumer is oblivious to all this, as the bottle gives no clue to either its disgorgement date or its splendid maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the Laurent-Perrier website declares only 7–8 years of maturity, when the truth is close to double. Despite a huge internal debate, the house refuses to budge on this. Such archaic secrecy makes managing collections a challenge, which is a shame, as Grand Siècle ages magnificently, long beyond its release. A full, bright straw hue with gold tints, this is a cuvée that boldly declares its maturity in both colour and character, brimming with luscious layers of crème brûlée, toasted meringue, tarte tatin, ginger, honey, blood orange and fig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA seamless and harmonious blend, it leads with the elegant finesse and youthful endurance of 2004 and continues with the depth and definition of 2002, bolstered by the richness of 1999. Ageing slowly and confidently, more than 12 years on lees has built a silky, creamy mouthfeel that contrasts layered, salty chalk minerality and subtle, well- gauged phenolic bite. It holds excellent length and line, nudging at tertiary complexity of toffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdiosyncratic and distinctive, at once lusciously decadent and at the same time elegantly strict, this is signature Laurent-Perrier and characteristic La Grande Siècle. Distinguished, refined and immediately alluring, this is a release to drink in the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e55% chardonnay from Avize, Cramant and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, 45% pinot noir from Ambonnay, Bouzy and Mailly-Champagne; 2002 and 1999 reserves; aged more than 12 years on lees; 7g\/L dosage; cork \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the house\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuite often people do not realise why they like a certain champagne brand.
