LAURENT PERRIER GRAND SIECLE 26

Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle – Itération No. 26
by Laurent-Perrier

Grand Siècle is Laurent-Perrier’s prestige cuvée, created not from a single vintage, but from a meticulous blend of exceptional years to recreate what the house considers “the perfect year.” Iteration No. 26 is a masterful expression of precision, balance, and longevity.

Concept & Composition

Grand Siècle No. 26 is crafted from a blend of three outstanding vintages (2012, 2008, and 2007), predominantly Chardonnay with Pinot Noir from prestigious Grand Cru villages. Extended ageing on lees enhances complexity, finesse, and depth.

The philosophy: blending to achieve harmony beyond what a single vintage can offer.
