Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée is the signature brut of the family-run Champagne house of Tours-sur-Marne, here in a 375ml half bottle, bottled at 12% ABV.
La Cuvée is built on Chardonnay, which makes up about half the blend alongside Pinot Noir and Meunier. That high share of Chardonnay gives the wine its freshness, finesse and elegance.
Expect fresh citrus and white flowers, with notes of pear, peach and a light toastiness from time on the lees.
The half bottle is perfect for two glasses each, a celebration for two or a thoughtful gift.
Champagne can only come from the Champagne region of north-eastern France, and it gains its bubbles from a second fermentation in the bottle, the traditional method. Non-vintage cuvées are blended from several harvests so that each house can keep its signature style consistent from year to year, and they rest on their lees for at least fifteen months before release.
