Laurent-Perrier’s NV Grand Siècle N°24 from magnum reveals a complex, deep bouquet of white flowers, confit citrus, mirabelle, spices, menthol and warm biscuits. This full-bodied, enveloping and fleshy Champagne offers a deep, dense mid-palate that is invigorated by racy acidity and concludes with a long, endless and ethereal finish. Slightly more austere and tense than the Brut Grand Siècle #24 released in a 750-milliliter bottle, this magnum blend consists of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, with vintages from 2007 (60%), 2006 (20%) and 2004 (20%). 97+ (YC)

The NV Grande Cuvée Grand Siècle No. 24 is an especially fine Champagne from Laurent Perrier. The blend of vintages (2007, 2006 and 2004) works so well, as does the later disgorgement. Baked apple tart, orchard fruit, marzipan and white flowers caress the palate. Once again, time in bottle on the lees is so beneficial. Disgorged: June 20, 2024. (AG)

A grand wine, this is the 24th blend of Grand Siécle, the producer's top cuvée. With wonderful toastiness, the Champagne from grand cru vineyards is at a perfect moment of maturity. Almonds mingle with the white fruits and acidity in perfect balance. Drink now. (RV)
