Chardonnay-led, in a category where the big houses usually lean on Pinot Noir — and that single choice explains the whole wine. More than half of La Cuvee is Chardonnay, which is why it comes across light on its feet, more citrus and white flowers than red fruit, built around freshness rather than weight. Laurent-Perrier, based in Tours-sur-Marne, made its name in the second half of the twentieth century by pushing that leaner, purer style at a time when most of Champagne was richer and more oxidative. The blend draws on more than a hundred crus with 15 to 30% reserve wine, and it ages around four years on the lees, well past the legal minimum for a non-vintage. Chill it properly and pour it into a real glass rather than a flute; it is an aperitif Champagne that doesn't fall apart next to food.

Robert Parker

90 points

"The Laurent-Perrier NV Brut is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 15% Meunier, and is based on 2009 plus 15-30% reserve wines from two or three vintages. Citrus colored, this signature LP has a refined, fresh and elegant nose with brioche and delicate citrus flavors. Lean, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a dry and silky textured, vivacious, and perfectly fresh and balanced aperitif Champagne. It does not have the opinion-dividing thrill and tension of the Ultra Brut, but will probably find more friends." —Robert Parker

Wine Spectator

90 points

"Lightly toasty and vibrant, this balanced Champagne carries flavors of melon, black currant, lemon preserves and smoky mineral on a fine, lively mousse."

Wine Enthusiast

90 points

"Fresh and crisp, this is bright with acidity as well as warmer fruitiness. It brings out the dry Laurent-Perrier style, balanced by soft creamed apples and fragrant acidity. Light and fruity at the end, it is ready to drink."

Perfect Pairings

Oysters, sushi and sashimi, fried fish, langoustines with warm mayonnaise, roast chicken, or a wedge of aged Comte.

Tasting Profile

Citrus, white flowers and vine peach with a hint of brioche. Light- to medium-bodied and dry, with a fine persistent bead, brisk acidity and a clean, fresh finish.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
