The NV Brut Grand Siècle #15 is showing magically today, wafting from the glass with scents of orange oil, exotic fruit, smoke, clear honey, toasted bread, iodine and coniferous forest floor. Full-bodied, ample and complete, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a pearly mousse, it's deep and complex, with a satiny attack and an intensely sapid, umami-laden finish. Tasted from magnum, the #15 is a blend of the 1990, 1988 and 1985 vintages. Fauconnet describes 1990 as "the Chardonnay vintage," 1988 as a source of underlying "austerity," and 1985 as "the year for Pinot, which I kept for five years, waiting for the Chardonnay!"

Laurent Perrier was established in 1812 by the Laurent family. Usually a blend of three vintages, although in exceptional years released as a vintage label, Grand Siècle is the flagship of the Laurent Perrier House.

Bordeaux-born winemaker Alain Terrier is an exceptionally gifted character, blending roughly equal amounts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to produce an exquisite cuvée, with delicate richness and great longevity.

In 1668, Dom Pérignon is said to have discovered how to make sparkling wine; today his technique is used the world over, although Champagne continues to make some of the finest. France’s most northerly wine region, Champagne is now home to 15,000 growers and 290 ‘houses’. A blend of grape varieties is usually required: white Chardonnay to add fruit and elegance, and two reds – Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – to provide body and backbone.
