Perrier Laurent NV Ultra Brut Champagne (ships as magnum)
4594Product Details
Winemaker notes: This truly unique
Champagne is made without the addition of any sugar (dosage). In the 19th
Century, Laurent-Perrier was well known for our Grand Vin sans Sucre and is now
one of the last Champagne houses to still produce a Champagne of this type. The
grapes selected for this wine have a natural acid/sugar balance, so even when
fermented to complete dryness no dosage is required. The wine ages on its lees
for at least four years and upon disgorging is topped off with wine from the
same cuvee. No sugar whatsoever is added to Laurent-Perrier Ultra-Brut at any
time.
An incredibly versatile Champagne, L-P Ultra-Brut
matches well with everything from fresh goat cheese to sushi. The classic and
unparalleled food pairing is with oysters.
Appearance: Lipid, bright yellow with a fine bead.
Nose: Intense and forward, with citrus and honeysuckle notes and a
unique mineral component, oftentimes likened to a fresh sea breeze.
Taste: Surprising depth and power with a purity and concentration of
flavor all its own. Amazingly well balanced and absolutely bone dry.
Blend: 55% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir
