Description
Laurent-Perrier Brut Vintage is a Champagne from the house based in Tours-sur-Marne, built on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and bottled in a 1.5L magnum. A vintage Champagne comes from a single harvest instead of a blend across years, so it shows more of that year's character than a non-vintage cuvée.
Magnums keep Champagne fresh longer because less air sits against the wine, which makes this one a fair candidate for a few more years of rest. At the table, oysters, fried chicken and soft cheeses all work. Open it well chilled and pour it into a wide tulip glass rather than a flute.
Questions about Laurent-Perrier Brut Vintage
- Can you still drink very old vintage Champagne?
- Yes, vintage Champagne stored cool and dark can stay drinkable for 20 years or more. Laurent-Perrier's Brut Vintage blends Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with high acidity, and old bottles turn toasty, nutty and softer in bubble.
- How long can you keep Laurent-Perrier Brut Vintage?
- It usually drinks well for ten to fifteen years after the harvest when cellared properly. Laurent-Perrier has made Champagne since it was founded in 1812, and vintage cuvées are meant to develop with time.
- Is Laurent-Perrier better than Moët?
- They are different houses. Laurent-Perrier is family owned and smaller, known for Chardonnay-led freshness, while Moët & Chandon is much larger and part of LVMH. Preference comes down to taste, not rank.
