Champagne Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut (NV)

750mL / Champagne / France

Category: Wine
Sub-Category: Sparkling

Laurent Perrier is pioneer the Brut Nature category, a wine with no added sugar.

Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut expresses the quintessential character of champagne and was known as a "Great Wine without sugar".

Launched in 1981, Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut is a true illustration of the House's know-how.

Blending and Wine Making:

55% Chardonnay
45% Pinot Noir

One or two reserve wines from a complementary year are blended in Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut with around 15 cru wines used in the composition.

Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut has zero dosage - the bunches of grapes are rigorously selected to ensure that only grapes with high sugar levels and low acidity are retained. These conditions are necessary to create a finished champagne that has the required balance without any dosage.

Ideally this Champagne should be aged for a minimum of 6 years.

Tasting Notes:

Very pale, crystal-bright in colour.

Intense and complex on the nose with a wide range of aromas including citrus and white fruits, honeysuckle flowers and iodine notes which give off an impression of freshness.

This airy and delicate wine of a surprising length is characterised by high purity of taste, a long and non-saturating finish.

Serve between 8 and 10 degrees celcius.

Food Matching:

Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut pairs perfectly with seafood, sushi and a white fish ceviche as well as a young parmesan or a pata negra ham.
