Champagne, France | Vintage 2015 | 50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

The wine is white gold in colour with a fine and persistent sparkle. A nose of great complexity offering notes of beeswax, candied lemon, honeysuckle and hawthorn followed by aromas of toast and orange. A lively attack that gives way to a creamy and elegant palate with notes of candied lemon and honeysuckle. Best served between 9°C and 11°C.

A vintage Champagne from a single declared year, creamy, complex and built to age.

Why you'll love it: Vintage Champagne is made only in the best years and aged longer, giving more depth and a creamier, toastier character than non-vintage. The 2015 is a wine for a special table or the cellar.

The Vintage

Laurent-Perrier declares a vintage only rarely, in years good enough to stand alone (2008, 2012 and 2015 are among the most recent). Vintage Champagne is aged for several years before release, which builds the creamy, toasty complexity this style is known for. The 2015 is an equal blend of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims, aged around seven years on the lees before release.

Reviews

95 points, James Suckling, July 2023: "Very structured with a density and richness."

93 points, Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous, December 2024: "Lovely smokiness around aromatic plum and taut lemon."

An equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with around seven years on the lees; recent bottles were disgorged in September 2024.

The Royal Warrant

Laurent-Perrier holds the Royal Warrant as a supplier of Champagne to the Royal Household. King Charles III granted it in 2024, making Laurent-Perrier the first Champagne house to receive his warrant, a relationship that began when he appointed the house as Prince of Wales in 1998.

About Laurent-Perrier

Laurent-Perrier is an independent, family-owned Champagne house founded in 1812 at Tours-sur-Marne, a Grand Cru village in the heart of the region. After passing to cellar master Eugène Laurent and his widow Mathilde-Emilie Perrier, who gave the house its name, it was bought by Marie-Louise de Nonancourt in 1939. Her son Bernard de Nonancourt, a veteran of the French Resistance, took charge in 1948 and built the modern house style of freshness, elegance and purity, growing Laurent-Perrier into one of the world's leading Champagne houses. It remains independent and family-run, today led by Bernard's daughters Alexandra Pereyre de Nonancourt and Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt, with Chardonnay at the heart of its blends.

Perfect with seafood and noble fish, poultry or veal, or a young Comté or Beaufort. The creamy weight and fine bubbles suit richer mains and hard pressed cheeses.
