Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Brut La Cuvée by Laurent-Perrier is made in the Champagne region from a carefully balanced blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The vinification is carried out as a white wine, and the subsequent bottle fermentation is meticulously executed in strict accordance with the Traditional Method, involving extended maturation on the lees. This process gives the wine a fresh, structured character and remarkable aromatic precision. The flavor profile is extremely clean, highlighted by a fine and persistent perlage that is fully in line with the style of this type.
Where it comes from
The grapes are sourced from the historic Champagne region, a territory in northeastern France that has long been dedicated to sparkling wine production. The area's cool climate allows for a slow ripening of the grapes, a key factor in preserving acidity and the aromatic definition of the fruit. The blending of traditional grape varieties, grown in selected plots, ensures a consistent and recognizable style, characterized by outstanding balance and quality.
How it is produced
Production starts with the harvesting and careful manual selection of the finest Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier grapes. After undergoing traditional white wine vinification, the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, in line with the Traditional Method. The Champagne then ages on the lees for at least 36 months, a lengthy period that enhances aromatic complexity and provides an integrated mousse, leading the cuvée to a classic Brut balance.
