A very long ageing process in our cellars until the wine reaches perfect maturity. First released in 2017. This wine comes from the purest grape juice and it alone allows Laurent-Perrier to craft La Cuvée. A blend of 55% Chardonnay, double the usual amount in Champagne, giving the wine its unique personality. Four years ageing in the cellars ensures perfect maturity upon release. La Cuvée defines the House style and serves as an ideal introduction to our wines with its characteristic lightness, freshness and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape varieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay +50%, Pinot Noir 30-35%, Meunier 10-15%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReserve wines:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15-30%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrus:\u003c\/strong\u003e +100 Crus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 years\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for Vegans, Suitable for Vegetarians\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergy Advice:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains Sulphites\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Laurent-Perrier, Tours-sur-Marne, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serving suggestion: Best served between 8°C and 10°C\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alcohol by volume: 12%.

In 1939 the House was sold to the de Nonancourt family \u0026amp; Madame de Nonancourt passed control of the House to her son Bernard in 1948. Bernard had a modern vision of a champagne style that could be enjoyed any time with a cleaner palate. He brought innovation \u0026amp; a pioneering spirit to the House, so the Laurent-Perrier style of elegance \u0026amp; freshness was born. His legacy lives on today through his daughters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegional information:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne terroir covers a roughly 34,000 ha of vineyards, each one bringing together a combination of climate, soil \u0026amp; terrain. The production zone AOC was defined \u0026amp; delimited by a law passed in 1927. The terroir has two major features: northerly latitude \u0026amp; dual climate. The subsoil is mainly limestone with the addition of chalk \u0026amp; marl. This subsoil has good drainage \u0026amp; also adds that mineral taste to certain Champagnes. The moderately steep terrain offers perfect exposure to sunlight with added drainage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e For blending, only the musts of the Cuvée are used, so only 80% of the grape juice is extracted from pressing. Laurent-Perrier's style and personality are defined by its very high proportion of Chardonnay. Purity, freshness and elegance - essential characteristics, expressed in this champagne which embodies the spirit of the House.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sainsburys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48324369678574,"sku":"STO-ITEM-2026-225766","price":67.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0125\/9183\/files\/2365x2365_6f93cb8c-9f21-4a27-b034-b7d568045499.jpg?v=1784148943","url":"https:\/\/mcgrocer.com\/products\/laurent-perrier-la-cuv-e-champagne-75cl-2026225766","provider":"McGrocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
