An independent spirit has always been the driving force behind the creative winemaking, which has led to a unique and highly successful range of champagnes. They are produced by a team led by Michel Fauconnet, chef de cave, and his predecessor Alain Terrier, who is recognised as one of the greatest winemakers in Champagne.
Comprising Chardonnay 50% & Pinot Noir 50%. Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims: Ay, Verzy, Verzenay, Tours-sur-Marne, Bouzy. Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs: Chouilly, Cramant, Avize and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.
This is a solid and very dense Champagne with a phenolic and rich texture. Layers of cooked apples and light lemon rind. Brioche and light pie-crust in the aftertaste. Fresh and relatively dry aftertaste.

The 2008 Brut Millésimé is a gorgeous wine that expresses all of the pedigree of the great vintage beautifully. Complex and nuanced, with tons of class, the 2008 has so much to offer. Dried pear, mint, chamomile, crushed rock, dried flowers and pastry overtones are all laced together in this finely-knit, resonant Champagne. At under $100.00 a bottle, Laurent-Perrier’s Brut Millésimé is one the best widely available vintage Champagne readers will find from this historic harvest.

The 2008 Brut Millésimé opens in the glass with lovely aromas of lemon oil, green apple, warm biscuits, iodine and mandarin. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, with an elegantly layered core, a fine, pinpoint mousse and racy balancing acids, concluding with a long and incipiently biscuity finish. This is a classy vintage Champagne that will develop beautiful complexity in the cellar. Drink now-2035.
