Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut NV (75cl)

Airy and delicate upon entry, yet surprisingly long. Floral and fruit flavours combine with mineral notes to give a wine that is pure without being austere. The finish is long and leaves the palate clean.

Serve between 8C and 10C.

Grape Variety:

Made exclusively from grapes from very ripe harvests and blended from fifteen crus or villages with an average rating of 97%.

Bunch selection is rigorous, to ensure that only the grapes with high sugar levels and low acidity are retained. These conditions are necessary to create a finished champagne that has the required balance without any dosage. The ageing is long, lasting for at least four years.

Pairing with food:

Its delicate finish, which leaves the palate fresh, and its subtle balance make this the most versatile champagne in Laurent-Perrier's range. Its capacity to bring out flavours in food makes it ideal from aperitif to dessert. This champagne pairs well with caviar or foie gras, seafood or oysters - and even accompanying a cigar at the end of a meal.

Background Information:

Its creation is contemporary like that of Nouvelle Cuisine. Similar to this lighter, purer way of preparing food, Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut appears without make-up, in its natural form. It is a brut nature champagne, that is, with no dosage, and making it requires considerable know-how. Its style appeals to a growing number of wine-lovers who discover with it many new ways of enjoying champagne.

The blend combines a small majority of Chardonnay with Pinot Noir and is made exclusively with grapes from very ripe harvests. 

Founded in 1812, Laurent Perrier has been avant-garde in creating unique and elegant Champagnes for nearly two hundred years making it one of the world's most esteemed Champagne brands, and also the largest family-owned brand.
