Chardonnay comes from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant, while Pinot Noir comes from Tours-sur-Marne, Ambonnay, Bouzy and Verzy. The wine spends \u003cstrong\u003e10 years aging on its lees\u003c\/strong\u003e in the 750ml format, developing considerable complexity while retaining the freshness and precision central to the Laurent-Perrier style. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIteration No. 27 is vibrant and refined, showing notes of candied citrus, honeysuckle, hazelnut and fresh almond, followed by pastry, honey and subtle roasted nuances.

The modern identity of the House was profoundly shaped by \u003cstrong\u003eBernard de Nonancourt\u003c\/strong\u003e, who took control in 1948 and developed Laurent-Perrier into one of Champagne’s leading independent houses. His approach emphasized Chardonnay, extended aging and the art of blending reserve wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrand Siècle, first created in \u003cstrong\u003e1959\u003c\/strong\u003e, represents the pinnacle of this philosophy. Bernard de Nonancourt believed that blending exceptional vintages could produce a Champagne greater and more complete than any single vintage could achieve. Each Iteration therefore combines three complementary years, a majority of Chardonnay with Pinot Noir, and fruit from Champagne’s finest Grand Cru villages. Since its creation, Grand Siècle has become the signature Prestige Cuvée of Laurent-Perrier and one of the most distinctive expressions of multi-vintage blending in Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53464002691361,"sku":"210000021733","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0804\/6785\/3601\/files\/WSWINEBOTTLEPHOTOTEMPLATE_4.png?v=1788723198","url":"https:\/\/perrineswine.com\/products\/nv-laurent-perrier-grand-siecle-no-27-brut-champagne-france","provider":"PERRINE's WINE SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
