La Cuvee Champagne, Laurent-Perrier

“Champagne in High Definition”

This is precision sparkling. Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent bead, La Cuvée opens with lifted aromas of fresh citrus, green apple and white peach, layered with honeysuckle and a delicate brioche note from extended ageing on lees. It feels bright from the very first swirl, clean lines, no excess.

On the palate, it is all about purity and tension. A high proportion of Chardonnay gives it lift and elegance, while Pinot Noir and a touch of Meunier add subtle depth and structure. The mousse is fine and creamy, carrying flavours of lemon zest, pear and fresh almond, before tapering into a long, crisp, mineral finish. It is refreshing yet composed, generous yet razor precise, the kind of Champagne that disappears from the glass faster than expected.

For when you want something that feels both celebratory and impeccably made.
Pairs with oysters, smoked salmon, light canapés or simply the sound of the cork leaving the bottle.
If this wine were a mood, it would be effortless confidence, polished, bright and always welcome.
