Brut MillésiméRarely vintaged

Laurent‑Perrier is selective when declaring vintages from only the very best years to create a rare and exceptional wine, characteristic of the House’s style.

2018

The year 2018 was marked by a mild winter and spring, accompanied by rainfall that encouraged vine growth from budburst, observed in mid-April. Flowering began in early June. The warm and sunny summer provided ideal conditions for grape ripening. Harvesting started at the end of August and took place under perfectly stable weather conditions. The grapes, of exceptional quality and great generosity, promised a harmonious and promising vintage.

sensory caracteristics

Eye

A pale gold colour with fine, delicate bubbles forming a persistent bead of foam.
Nose

A fresh, airy nose expressing aromas of fresh citrus (pink grapefruit) and stone fruits (vine peach and mirabelle plum).
Palate

A precise, lively palate offering notes of candied citrus (clementine) mingled with softer pastry and acacia honey notes, perfectly balanced. A slightly mineral and delicately saline finish that enhances the wine’s length on the palate.
