Champagne Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut (NV)
750mL / Champagne / France
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.
