Champagne Laurent-Perrier Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature NV
Champagne, FranceThis is a relatively new cuvée from Laurent-Perrier, first launched in 2019, but not the first zero-dosage released by the house, which was Grand Vin Sans Sucré back in 1889. We can thank the British for demanding a drier bubble style in an age when it was sweet. No sugar means a lighter, fresher style of Champagne that dances across your palate and is gastronomic in the true sense of the word. It is a blanc de blancs said to have taken its precision from the Montagne de Reims and texture from that of the Côte de Blancs. I love the tension, precision, and best of all, the chalky mineral palate with a citrus undercurrent. Freshly balanced, it floats across the palate, drawing you back to the glass with each sip. It's a fabulous ouster wine, but any raw seafood would work here, including caviar. Split the cost with friends and treat yourself to a delicious bottle of Champagne.Tasted: 23 October 2023Tasted by: Prices:BC | $149.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
