NV Laurent-Perrier, Grand Siecle No. 26 750ml

Chardonnay 58% and 42% Pinot Noir. Disgorged February 2023. 10 years on the lees. 7g/L dosage.

96 Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "A blend of the 2012, 2008 and 2007 vintages, the NV Brut Grand Siècle #26 won't be released for another four or five years, but there is a great deal to anticipate, as it's a stunning young wine in the making. Unfurling in the glass with scents of crisp nectarine, pear and honeyed citrus fruit that mingle with notions of fresh mint, blanched almonds and iodine, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and tightly wound, with broad structural shoulders, tangy acids and a long, intense finish. It's a great Grand Siècle in the making." 04/19
