The Story

The idea of Grand Siècle was born from a simple observation: that nature would never provide the perfect oenological year, but that thanks to the art of assemblage, Laurent-Perrier could in fact create it.

Going well beyond rare vintages, Grand Siècle is created choosing not one but three exceptional years which complement each other perfectly. We must then wait for at least 8 years of ageing in our cellars before it can be enjoyed.

Wine Information

A majestic and refined bottle. Its singular shape is inspired by the work of the master glass-blowers of the 17th century. The curve of its shoulders is unique, as is the elegance of its slender swan’s neck, and is a re-creation of the hand-blown bottles used to contain the very first champagnes at the French royal court.

As soon as one begins to pour the wine, the long neck murmurs a ‘song’ like no other.
Grand Siècle, a name that celebra...

Written Notes

Tasted three times. The latest cuvée of Grand Siecle is fruity, rich, sweet, brioche like on the nose with apple aromas. Mouthfeel is creamy and elegant with the Chardonnay already starting to show its wide and toasty side. Acidity is not highlighted. At the finish more mineral notes emerge and the structure becomes firmer. A quite easily approachable champagne today that is reaching its peak in five to ten years time. By far the most enjoyable "new" Grand Siecle I have tasted.

There is an unusual voluptuousness and generosity to this 2006 based cuvée, which gets complemented by 20% of 2004 and 20% of 2002 wine. Lovely fullness and width but there is fine freshness too bringing vivacity and drive to the calm, satiny palate.

The Cuvée Grand Siècle of the Laurent-Perrier House is a prestigious champagne wine, not only due to its bottle inspired by glass master of the 17th Century but as well to its content, an elegant and refined champagne. Made from 45% Pinot Noir and 55% Chardonnay from 10 of the most prestigious growths of Champagne, this is a blend of the greatest vintages produced by Laurent-Perrier. Its dress is of a bright yellow glod enhanced by a fine effervescence. The nose is intense and complex, marked by slightly candied citrus, toasted almonds and gingerbread. On the palate is is savory, of a good volume yet very aerial. The Cuvée Grand Siècle offers a perfect balance between strength and delicacy, thus radiating as much as Louis the 14th did: this wine indeed pays tribute to him.
