Laurent-Perrier Héritage Multi-Vintage Brut

Laurent-Perrier Héritage Multi-Vintage Brut is a deeply expressive, beautifully layered champagne that captures the essence of the house’s blending mastery. Crafted entirely from reserve wines drawn from four exceptional harvests — 2019, 2018, 2016 and 2014 — it offers an immediate sense of purity and maturity. Aromas of blanched almonds, lemon oil, brioche and delicate spring flowers rise from the glass, wrapped in a subtle smoky reduction. The palate is generous and textural, driven by bright acidity and a fleshy core of apricot, pear, citrus zest and spice. Energetic, structured and finely detailed, this is a champagne that unfurls slowly, revealing increasing depth with time in the glass.

This multi-vintage cuvée pairs effortlessly with elegant, flavour-driven dishes. Think sashimi or kingfish crudo, roasted chicken with lemon and thyme, seared scallops or white truffle pasta. Its breadth and minerality also make it a brilliant match for soft cheeses, lobster rolls, or warm gougères. As the wine opens in the glass, richer notes emerge, harmonising beautifully with toasted nuts and lightly spiced dishes.

Héritage Multi-Vintage Brut is composed of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir, blended from four vintages: 2019 (30%), 2018 (30%), 2016 (20%), and 2014 (20%). Each wine was chosen for freshness, elegance, and complexity — the qualities required to emulate the philosophy behind Grand Siècle. It was disgorged in December 2023 and finished with a 6 g/L dosage, offering pinpoint balance between vibrancy and richness. Drawn from 40 crus, including many Grand and Premier Cru villages, this cuvée showcases nuanced structure, layered fruit, and remarkable saline length.

Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier has become one of Champagne’s most influential and innovative maisons, celebrated for its unwavering dedication to purity, finesse and Chardonnay-forward elegance. Known for pioneering techniques and shaping the modern identity of prestige cuvées — most notably through the creation of Grand Siècle — Laurent-Perrier remains a benchmark for precision and artistry. Héritage Multi-Vintage pays homage to that legacy, applying the house’s signature savoir-faire to a new, multi-vintage expression crafted exclusively from reserve wines. It is a testament to Laurent-Perrier’s vision: timeless, forward-thinking and beautifully refined.
