Champagne Grand Siècle par Laurent-Perrier No. 26 is the prestige cuvée of Maison Laurent-Perrier, one of Champagne’s most respected houses. Created in 1959, Grand Siècle is built on a unique philosophy: rather than celebrating a single harvest, it blends three exceptional vintages to create what Laurent-Perrier calls the perfect year, achieved through assemblage rather than nature alone.
The No. 26 assemblage combines 2012 (65%), 2008 (25%), and 2007 (10%), all outstanding vintages in Champagne. It is composed primarily of Chardonnay (around 60%) and Pinot Noir (around 40%), sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages.
Aged for 10 years on the lees in bottle format and even longer in magnum, Grand Siècle develops remarkable depth, complexity, and elegance. The wine opens with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and brioche, evolving into almond, hazelnut, and mineral notes. On the palate, it is precise and layered, with fine mousse, impressive length, and a refined finish that speaks to its long maturation.
Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle No. 26 has earned acclaim as one of the greatest prestige cuvées available today, a Champagne that balances richness and freshness while offering extraordinary aging potential. Ideal for the most memorable occasions, it pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, caviar, or can be savored on its own as a pinnacle of Champagne.
