The Story

Grand Siecle was created in 1959 and was the world's first multivintage prestige cuvée.

Written Notes

Since 1959, Laurent Perrier's Grand Siècle has only been made 24 times with the aim of producing only the best.

It always consists of three great complementary vintages that respectively reflect a dominanacy of freshness, finesse and structure.

Magnum. 2004, 2002, 1999 grands crus blend. Dosage 6 g/l. 55% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir.
Deep golden straw. Hint of honey on the nose. Real hint of ripe Chardonnay on the nose. Pretty and lifted with roundness on the end. Delicious already. Long and reverberant. Lip smacking and very elegant. Tastes sweeter than 6 g/l – thanks to age, presumably.
