Highlights: Champagne Laurent Perrier 2018
Really impressed with this, the latest vintage release from Laurent-Perrier.
Champagne Laurent Perrier Brut Millésime 2018 France
12% alcohol. 100% Grand Cru, with Chardonnay from Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Cramant and Chouilly, and Pinot Noir from Verzy, Louvois, Aÿ, Tours-sur-Marne and Ambonnay. 52% Chardonnay, 48% Pinot Noir. Dosage 7.5 g/litre. This is superbly balanced, from a warm, abundant year, and it shows ripe pear and peach notes as well as a lovely citrus core from the Chardonnay. There’s richness, but also a delicacy, and the reasonably high dosage fits in seamlessly, expanding the texture and finish a little. This is all about refinement and delicacy. 94/100
