Laurent Perrier Vintage 2008 is distinguished by its light yellow touches in the glass and delicate beading. The subtle aroma has hints of fresh pineapple, dried apricots and almonds. Rounded on the palate with notes of acacia honey. It's complex, with depth, intensity and a youthful freshness.
The year 2008 began with a mostly mild but wet winter. Towards the end of the growing season, warm summer days combined with cool nights, creating the ideal conditions for excellent freshness and acidity.
It's made with a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. The grapes are sourced from the most prestigious growth areas in Champagne. Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and Chardonnay from the Côtes des Blancs. It's bottle-aged in the Laurent Perrier cellars for a minimum of seven years. The result is an elegant and well rounded champagne with a zesty finish.
Laurent Perrier Vintage is only produced in the best harvest years. Whilst the House style of freshness and elegance underpins the Vintage offering, it also aims to showcase the specific character of the individual year.
