Winemakers's tastingnote: In appearance, Vintage 2007 is a light golden colour with a delicate bead of fine bubbles. The nose is bright and brisk with a distinct lemony freshness.
The palate has pronounced citrus flavours marked by a balance between freshness and intensity with an underlying character of elegance and restraint. The creamy mousse enhances the mouth feel.
The finish is lively, offering hints of white peach and mirabelle pl...

Laurent-Perrier has chosen to make vintages very rarely, only selecting the very best years. This makes Laurent-Perrier Vintage a rare and outstanding wine that clearly expresses the specific character of a year albeit in the Laurent-Perrier style.

The year 2007 began with an unusually mild winter, followed by a warm spring which led to early flowering. The summer however was disappointing but fortunately the weather improved towards the end of summer with the harvest starting in late August. Despite the chaotic summer weather it was an unexpectedly generous harvest, with grapes of good quality and maturity marked with high acidity hinting at the potential for making vintage champagne.

An unusually warm spring led to early flowering and initial optimism, which soon gave way to disappointment following one of the murkiest summers on record. Overall, 2007 was a difficult vintage saved by last-minute sunshine in late-August. Mildew and rot were the main culprits of the harvest, and the level of gluconic acid rocketed. The harvest began early, on August 24th, and was abundant in volume averaging 14,242 kg/ha. Pinot Meunier posed...

Written Notes
Magnum. 2007 is their current vintage. 50:50 Chardonnay:Pinot Noir. Picked end of August, very ripe but with good acid. Michel Fauconnet seeks vintage character too. Disgorged February 2017. Dosage 8 g/l.
Greenish lemon colour. Very tight knit and introvert on the nose – this does remind me of Grand Siècle! Lime structure and tense but tastes a little sweeter than 8 g/l. Perhaps that’s the year. Chalky finish. Fan of flavour on the end. Very easy to drink already but with the potential to age. Quite flirtatious.
The 2007 vintage is made up of equal parts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The colour is clear with golden highlights and fine bubbles. The palate is direct with floral and citrus flavours. The finish ends with bitter orange notes. The freshness and mouth-watering salinity enhance this champagne’s lovely complexity. This complex champagne pairs wonderfully with poultry, other white meats and even terrine.

Inside Information
A light golden colour with a fine effervescence. Very delicate yet direct and bright on the nose offering floral notes and a nice complexity. A bold attack of citrus flavours, great freshness and a touch of salinity. The initial attack gives way to white fruit notes and then bitter orange flavours on the finish.
Serve between 9°C and 11°C.
