FEATURES
🏰 Laurent-Perrier's Cuvee Grand Siecle is a prestige cuvee, a blend of exceptional vintages, representing the pinnacle of the house's style and a testament to the art of blending. While Grand Siecle is typically a multi-vintage blend, the 1990 Champagne vintage was exceptional, despite low yields due to frost, hail, and disease early in the season. August saw dramatic improvements, resulting in exemplary maturity, acidity, and grape health at harvest. While specific 1990 Grand Siecle tasting notes were not found, Grand Siecle is known for its complexity, freshness, and elegance, with notes of brioche, citrus, honey, and toasted almonds. A 1990 vintage would be highly evolved, offering profound autolytic notes and a rich, creamy texture.
🍴 Pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast, sweet shrimp and shimeji mushroom risoni with truffle cream. Also excellent with rich fish, mild and soft cheese, charcuterie, and pizza. For Asian cuisine, consider delicate dim sum, Peking duck, or even sushi.
🥂 A superb choice for a grand celebration, a significant anniversary, or a luxurious aperitif.
Kindly reminder: For a Champagne of this age, expect a highly evolved and complex profile with pronounced brioche, nutty, and dried fruit notes. The effervescence may be softer, but the depth of flavor will be remarkable. The cork and capsule should be handled with care.
