Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée is the house's signature brut, a Champagne of great finesse and beautiful freshness made only from the purest grape juice, the first pressing, and refined by a long ageing in the cellars. It is bottled at 12% ABV.
Laurent-Perrier's style and personality are defined by a very high proportion of Chardonnay, and La Cuvée is built on more than 50% Chardonnay, with 30 to 35% Pinot Noir and 10 to 15% Meunier, drawn from more than 100 crus.
Between 15 and 30% reserve wines add depth and consistency to the blend, and the wine is aged for four years in the cellars before release, well beyond the legal minimum for non-vintage Champagne.
The result is a delicate, fresh Champagne that shows the Chardonnay-led finesse the house is known for.
It is an ideal aperitif and a refined Champagne for any celebration.
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.

How to Enjoy It
Serve La Cuvée chilled, around 46 to 50°F, in a tulip glass or a white wine glass. It is a perfect aperitif and pairs well with oysters, sushi, scallops, white fish and light starters. Chill the bottle for a few hours in the refrigerator, or for about twenty minutes in an ice bucket filled with ice and water, and open it gently so the fine bubbles stay in the glass.
