Review Date: 09/2019The brioche and cooked-apple and cream character really comes through here. Full-bodied and round with fine bubbles. Flavorful and intense. Vivid, bread dough finish. This is four years on lees. 55% Chardonnay and the rest Pinot.

The nonvintage cuvée from this producer is definitely on the dry side. Like many Champagnes in the range, it has benefitted from long aging before release, giving a wine that has richness as well as great fruits, hints of maturity coming through. (RV)

A delicate Champagne, with a refined mousse and finely honed acidity, this offers a subtle range of black currant, lemon zest, toast and chalk flavors that linger on the lightly spiced finish. (AN)

Email DianaPicnic perfect! This is everything I love about Laurent-Perrier's classic brut, just amplified. More chalky Chardonnay and an extra year on the lees give the La Cuvée boosted minerality and complexity. It still shows the easygoing apple fruit of the original, with a sophistication that belies its great price point, even in the half bottle. Drink now!
Notes
This replacement for the classic Laurent-Perrier Brut was created after the house acquired new vineyards and contracts in the Côtes de Blancs, allowing for a bump up in the composition favoring Chardonnay, and an extra year of aging on the lees. This is a big step up from the regular brut! (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer)
