How it tastes
Delicate lemon and white peach on the nose, layered with rich, toasty notes and toasted almond. The palate is refreshing and complex, with a lively mousse, citrus zest, white stone fruit and hints of floral honey, and it holds freshness and maturity in balance. Chardonnay 55%, Pinot Noir 45%.
The producer
Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 at Tours-sur-Marne and has been family-owned since 1939, when the house passed to Marie-Louise de Nonancourt; at the end of the 1970s it was one of the few Champagne houses to move to stainless steel vats, a choice that still shapes its style of freshness, elegance and purity. Héritage is drawn from 40 crus, half of them Grand Cru, on the chalky, limestone-rich soils and shallow topsoils that mark out the region, and the house was awarded Viticulture Durable en Champagne and Haute Valeur Environnementale certification in 2018. Vinification is plot by plot, giving the cellar master a wide range to blend from, and this cuvée was made exclusively from reserve wines chosen for freshness, elegance and complexity, then aged a minimum of four years in the cellar.
Food and drinking
