Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Half Bottle, 37.5 cl

Perfect picnic sized bottle! Pale gold in colour. Fine bubbles feed a persistent mousse. A delicate nose with hints of fresh citrus and white flowers. The wine’s complexity is expressed in successive notes like vine peach and white fruits notes. A perfect balance between freshness and delicacy with fruity flavours very present on the finish. Predominantly Chardonnay this is a blend of all three of the classic Champagne grape varieties. Laurent-Perrier can date its beginnings back as far as 1812, over 200 years ago. However the Champagne house truly blossomed soon after the Second World War. It is hard to believe at that time the company only employed some 20 people, compared to its now truly International reach being available in over 160 countries. Much of the credit for Laurent-Perrier’s success must be laid at the feet of firstly Marie-Louise de Nonacourt who ensured the business survived the war and then Bernard de Nonacourt (Marie’s son) who oversaw the expansion. Just a perfect little Champagne treat .
