Recreating the perfect year
Vintage in Champagne is usually synonymous with excellence for Prestige Cuvées. Contrarily, Laurent–Perrier has always been convinced that only the art of assemblage can offer what nature can never provide: the perfect year.The expression of the perfect year is that of a great Champagne wine that over time has developed a depth, intensity and aromatic complexity, yet maintains its freshness and acidity.
