The Grand Siècle fermentation room holds fourteen, 110-hectolitre tanks. The name chosen by Bernard de Nonancourt, upon the advice of Général de Gaulle, for Champagne Laurent-Perrier’s prestige cuvee, launched in 1959. Une majorité de Chardonnay complétée de PinotNoir provenant d'un maximum de 11 Grands Crus parmi les 319 Crus de la Champagne. Bernard de Nonancourt, founding president of Laurent-Perrier, developed the first iteration of Grand Siècle as a solution to the variable vintages in Champagne, attempting to retain consistency in quality over time.A very hot summer followed a cool spring, producing fine, lively wines. The Chardonnays were of very high quality and the Pinot Noirs very complex. Laurent-Perrier has been developing Grand Siècle since 1959, but 2019 was the first year that the iteration number was marked on the bottle. Don't wait in! We'll drop you a text the day of your expected delivery by 4pm and let you know a 2 hour delivery window Powerful aroma of orange peel and something in the putty/chalk spectrum. It somehow manages to be both tight yet approachable, dense in terms of flavour concentration yet filigree in terms of texture. As usual, it’s so Chardonnay! Overriding citrus character and quite amazingly long, a mouthful tingling on the palate for minutes not seconds. Enormous finesse. Massive pleasure. This would make the most luxurious aperitif. Michel Fauconnet, having welcomed the new chef de cave in January 2023, must be especially proud of this wine.”

Magnum “Compared to 24 it seems more restrained on the aromatics yet the palate is more richly textured, probably its the result of the longer time on lees. This richness really fills out the mid palate and some zesty lemon and hint of grapefruit are very attractive components. There is a hint of aniseed and dried grass on the finish with again that trademark saline lift at the end which keeps it fresh and clean. Long length goes on and on.” The brand’s vision still runs in the family, since 2010 it has been continued by his daughters Alexandra Pereyre de Nonancourt and Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt, who accompany the Chairman Stéphane Dalyac and Michel Fauconnet, Cellar Master and Production Manager forming the Laurent-Perrier Management Board. Michel has been at the company for 40 years, progressing from Cellarman in 1974 to assistant Chef de Cave in 1983 until his appointment as Cellar Master in 2004. In September 2019, Laurent-Perrier further strengthened itself with the arrival of Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt, Alexandra’s eldest daughter who is representing Grand Siècle worldwide. She is training with the Cellar Master and the Production and Salesforce teams, thus becoming part of Laurent-Perrier’s innovative team. Die Farbe ist dicht, mit einem goldenen Schimmer, der von zarten, sehr feinen Bläschen belebt wird.When we have a vertical tasting of Grand Siècle through all the iterations, we do not see a difference in evolution of color. You have it aromatically, but not in color, which means that oxidation has not entered into the older iterations. It is protected and it has evolved into a different kind of texture, but all the time you really keep this freshness.” Originally seen as a constraint in being a solution to the issue of inconsistent vintages, Grand Siècle is the Champagne house’s attempt to highlight the quality potential of blended wines using highly selective parcels and only the best vintages.

Grand Siècle, like Versailles, is the result of harnessing the elements of nature to produce a prestige cuvée like no other. Iteration No. 25 is a truly remarkable champagne, the perfect reflection of my grandfather’s vision, and his legacy to recreate the perfect year.” For Laurent Perrier, the largest export markets for Grand Siècle are Japan, the United States and then the United Kingdom. Marketing director Edouard Cossy replied in this interview that Italy has also become an important market for this wine. When I mentioned to Pereyre that I often travel to Italy, she recommended that I pair Grand Siècle with white truffles on my next visit to Piedmont.
