Laurent Perrier Brut Reserve Millesime 2000 Grand Cru

Short Description

It is a Champagne, in perfect balance between the Chardonnay grape (50%) and the Pinot Noir grape (50%), harvested in the famous vineyards of the largest appellation in Champagne: Grands Crus de la Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Oger, Chouilly for the chardonnay. Verzy, Mailly, Ambonnay, Bouzy for the Pinot Noir. No Mesnil sur-Oger because of the hail in August.

The year 2000 was marked by a mild winter with some peaks of cold in November. A rainy spring in April was followed by contrasting May. After a rainy month of July, little sunshine and dotted with hailstorms until August, the maturation went well thanks to a very beautiful month of September. In the end, a beautiful harvest started in mid-September.

The color is very deep golden yellow.

The nose evokes floral notes such as lime blossom and spring hawthorn as well as citrus notes such as lemon from Menton, pink grapefruit from Florida or even Corsican clementine.

The palate is a perfect balance brought by the Chardonnay, balanced harmoniously with the Pinots Noirs, notes of red fruits such as Plougastel strawberry or Mara des Bois, all marked by a very long and very fresh finish.

To be served around 10/12 ° C, but not less, so as not to tarnish the richness of the exceptional aromas and flavors.

Food / wine pairing: a brilliant opportunity to introduce this exceptional Champagne with friends / family on carpaccios of smoked fish such as salmon or Auvergne trout or also on a red tuna sashimi.

Also suitable with red fruit desserts such as quetsch tart from Alsace, yellow fruit such as plum or Cretan apricots.

The magnums should be kept lying down in the cellar, away from light and noise with a humidity of around 70% and with successive tastings in order to measure the peak of this exceptional champagne.
