Praise of purity and restraint, the Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Magnum Brut stands as a signature of finesse, designed to elevate the moment and lend each toast a gala stature. The house has turned grace into a language, that of a champagne that prioritises the essential, the clear expression of fruit and the delicacy of effervescence. In magnum format, this non-vintage Brut gains harmony and complexity, offering the wine an ideal breathing space and serene maturity. At the table, it orchestrates lucid pairings from the first contact to the last sip, with the singular tact that characterises great houses. For the knowledgeable enthusiast as well as the host seeking a confident choice, La Cuvée in magnum becomes an obvious pick, a golden thread linking the aperitif to the most subtle dishes, under the hallmark of understated French elegance.

Assemblage et vinification

La Cuvée de Laurent-Perrier is made from the juice of the first pressing, the cuvée, guaranteeing aromatic clarity and a precise texture. The blend decisively favours Chardonnay for freshness and lift, complemented by Pinot Noir for structure and weight, then Pinot Meunier for fruity brightness. The house integrates a generous proportion of reserve wines, drawn from a wide range of crus, to hone style consistency and enrich the palette. An ageing of at least 4 years on the lees in deep cellars refines the bubbles, polishes the texture and brings the recognisable creamy palate. The Brut dosage, adjusted with the precision of a goldsmith around 7 à 8 g/L, highlights balance without weighing down the wine. In magnum, maturation gains amplitude, giving the wine notable poise, a generous maturity and enduring freshness on the palate.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : Golden with silvery highlights, bright and crystalline, crossed by a fine and persistent effervescence that forms a delicate collar, promising an airy texture.
• Nez : Delicate and precise, marrying the liveliness of fresh citrus with the sweetness of white fruit, with a breath of white flowers and a subtle hazelnut nuance. The overall impression is one of clarity, freshness and discreet floral elegance.
• Bouche : A frank, luminous attack unfolding into a silky texture with impeccable balance. Notes of pear and white peach intertwine with citrus zests, supported by perfectly held acidity. The finish is long and mouthwatering, leaving an impression of clarity and purity.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this champagne chilled, not ice-cold, to preserve the integrity of its aromas and the finesse of its mousse. A tulip glass or a narrow-rimmed goblet will favour the reading of the bouquet and the unfolding of textures on the palate. Let the bottle awaken for a few minutes in the ice bucket before pouring the first flute, allowing the bubbles to soften and the aromatic profile to expand. In magnum, the sensory progression is particularly harmonious over the course of service, with freshness that endures and an effervescence of great elegance. Store the bottle away from light, on its side, in a cool, humid space to preserve its youth and precision.

Accords mets et vin

• Aperitifs : Comté gougères, mini tartlets with lightly candied citrus, crunchy radishes with salted butter, delicate sashimi. The cuvée’s chiselled freshness awakens the palate brilliantly.
• Starters : scallop carpaccio, sea bream tartare with citrus, white asparagus with light mousseline, delicate poultry terrine. The ensemble invites pure textures and a translucent plate.
• Main courses : grilled fish, sole meunière, herb-roasted poultry, lightly pink veal supreme. The silky palate showcases tender flesh and precise cooking.
• Cheeses : matured brie, fresh goat cheese, light tomme. Favor soft textures and measured intensity to preserve the wine’s grace.
• Desserts : thin pear tart, warm madeleines, almond financier, lightly sweetened vanilla entremets. The gentle dosage highlights the finesse of delicate sweets.
