Laurent-Perrier's Heritage Brut is a relatively new multi-vintage cuvée, crafted entirely from reserve wines, incorporating vintages from 2019, 2018, 2016, and 2014. This blend of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir, sourced from 40 Crus with 50% being Grand Crus, has quickly garnered critical acclaim, earning high scores from publications like James Suckling (96 points) and Decanter (93 points). It's often described as a 'baby Grande Siècle,' highlighting its exceptional quality and complexity.
On the nose, this Champagne presents a white gold color with fine, persistent effervescence, offering notes of lemon, white peach, fruits in syrup, toasted bread, and toasted almonds. The palate is fresh, lively, elegant, and complex, revealing aromas of white fruits, citrus zest, and floral honey, with some tasters also noting apple, mint, butteriness, and a super-ripe juicy orange fruit character. It achieves a perfect balance between freshness, elegance, and maturity.
Food pairing suggestions include delicate dishes such as poultry pie, puff pastry with mushrooms, or turbot with champagne sauce. It also harmonizes beautifully with pork, shellfish, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and mild, soft cheeses. Notably, its tangy, bright acidity makes it an excellent match for Asian cuisine, particularly Korean-themed dinners, as it effectively cleanses the palate of lingering spices.
This versatile Champagne is ideal for a wide array of events, from celebratory toasts to sophisticated dinners. It serves wonderfully as an aperitif or as a companion for an exploratory dinner featuring various appetizers and finger foods. 【Composed entirely of reserve wines, including 50% Grand Crus, offering remarkable complexity and elegance.】
