Decanter

rich colour, almost luminous, then an oaky nose, with hints of oatmeal and baking spice. Hints of melon as well as citrus on the mid-weight palate.

Vinous

Josh Raynolds

(55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir; no dosage; L53PA113356): Pale yellow. Racy, mineral- and ginger-tinged citrus and orchard fruits on the nose, with a subtle floral nuance adding complexity. On the palate, dry, incisive lime and green apple flavors show an intense, stony character and a touch of smokiness. Becomes fleshier with air and finishes spicy and long, with building citrus fruit character and very good focus.

Falstaff

Light golden yellow, silver reflections, fine mousse. Delicately smoky-tobacco background of fine yellow tropical fruit, herbal-spicy nuances, some honey blossom, blood orange zest. Medium body, some cookie and white pears, fine acidity, mineral-vinous finish, lemony aftertaste.

Andreas Larsson

Pale straw colour with a green tinge. Youthful nose with hints of stone fruits, almonds and citrus; the palate is bone-dry and nicely firm, with elegant fruit and nutty notes, well structured with a rounded creaminess and a long, fresh finish.

The Wine Independent

Sarah Mayo

Based on the 2016 vintage with 20% reserve wines, the Ultra Brut NV is 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir, aged six years on fine lees and finished with zero dosage. In the glass, it shows a very pale gold color with subtle aromas of ripe citrus peel, yuzu, lemon cream biscuits, and chalk. The light-bodied, textured palate opens to a fine, pinpoint mousse imbued with vivacious acidity, bright salinity, and lemon freshness that carries through the long finish.

La RVF

A broader palette than the BSA, with a Chardonnay-dominant profile. The nose is appealing and shows beautiful grape ripeness. This cuvée has the merit of expressing lovely fruit and a chalky character. The palate is broad and generous, with a lively mousse and decent length.

Wine Enthusiast

Michael Schachner

This no-dosage sparkler is immensely crisp and appley, with aromas of mint and licorice. If you're not expecting an austere, dry style, the green apple and lemon flavors might seem sour. It's 100% tangy and sharp, but it's precise for what it is. Not a cocktail party wine, but something like sushi will help it along.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Stephan Reinhardt

The current NV Ultra Brut is a blend of 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir based on the 2007 vintage; it includes—as always—a reserve of the former Ultra Brut vintage, in this case 2004. In fact, Ultra Brut is produced only every three years on average, and the 2007 base is only the twelfth cuvée since the (1976), which was released in 1989. It is citrus-colored with some very nice white-golden reflections. Bright and fresh on the intensely brioche-scented nose, this vibrant, round and mouth-filling Champagne reveals a persistent mineral complexity and structure, along with very elegant, refreshing citrus fruit.

Description

Champagne in its purest form

The estate

Founded in 1812, the Champagne Laurent-Perrier House entered its golden age in 1948, driven by the energy of Bernard de Nonancourt. Under the impetus of this visionary businessman, the House set itself apart by crafting cuvées that embodied its values of excellence and innovation.

From its earliest days, the House has built its identity around Chardonnay. Through the freshness and finesse this grape variety lends to the blend, it defines the style of this Champagne benchmark.

The Laurent-Perrier House expresses its avant-garde spirit through, among others, Grand Siècle and its multi-vintage blends, its Ultra Brut in the “zero dosage” style, and Cuvée Rosé, the first maceration rosé Champagne in its category. These so-called “breakthrough” cuvées, each release of which is an event in itself, mark with their originality a new chapter in the history of the Laurent-Perrier House and in its pursuit of excellence, which has earned its international renown.

The values so dear to Bernard de Nonancourt find their quintessence in the Laurent-Perrier cuvées, unanimously acclaimed by connoisseurs.

The vineyard

Located in the picturesque village of Tours-sur-Marne, the Laurent-Perrier House enjoys a highly qualitative estate-owned Champagne vineyard, complemented by long-term supply agreements established with growers on the greatest terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.

The wine

The House pioneered the “zero dosage” style in 1981 with the renowned Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut, crafted exclusively from years selected by the Laurent-Perrier House teams for their balance between maturity and acidity.

Blend

Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut is the result of a rigorous selection of grapes whose high potential degree and low acidity make it possible to achieve, without any addition of sugar, the balance sought by the House.

The blend is composed of Chardonnay (55%) and Pinot Noir (45%), to which 1 or 2 reserve wines from a complementary year are added. More than 15 crus go into the making of this wine, which benefits from a minimum of 6 years of cellar ageing.
