Grand Siecle Grande Cuvee Champagne is Laurent Perrier's luxury cuvée. At the Palace of Versailles Louis XIV was the first french King to drink Champagne. Louis XIV's era became known as the Grand Siecle - The "Great Century". Bottled in a replica of a 17th Century bottle evoking the radiance of that period, Laurent-Perrier's prestige cuveé embodies luxury, magnificence and elegance fit for a king.
Grand Siecle is made with a blend of Pinot Chardonnay and Black, with the latter being slightly dominant.
"For the Rolls-Royce of Champagne blending you can't go much higher than Laurent-Perrier's luxury cuveé Grand Siecle. It will please serious drinkers with it's delicate balance and honeyed, hazelnut flavours.." Anthony Quinn, Esquire Magazine, January 2008

“Laurent-Perrier’s prestige cuvée is always non-vintage, a blend of top years. The latest bottling is so elegant, definitely maturing from bottle aging and older vintages in the blend, but still worthy of aging in itself. It is dry, in the L-P style, but has richness, an intense pink grapefruit character, hints of cilantro, the final acidity a great shaft of light.”
