Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle Champagne Iteration No. 26

DESCRIPTION Recreating the Perfect Year Some Champagnes are born from a remarkable harvest. Grand Siècle is born from a vision. Created by Bernard de Nonancourt, Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle challenges the traditional notion of vintage Champagne by pursuing something even rarer: the recreation of the perfect year through the art of blending. Iteration Nº26 is the embodiment of that philosophy — a prestige cuvée crafted from three exceptional vintages, united to achieve a level of balance, depth, and freshness no single year could offer alone. From the celebrated vineyards of Champagne, France, this extraordinary luxury Champagne combines the elegance of Chardonnay with the structure and finesse of Pinot Noir, sourced exclusively from Grand Cru villages renowned for producing some of the region’s most distinguished fruit. Aged for a decade on lees, Grand Siècle Iteration Nº26 reveals remarkable complexity while preserving the crystalline freshness that defines the Laurent-Perrier style. In the glass, a luminous white gold colour shimmers beneath delicate, persistent bubbles. The nose unfolds with remarkable sophistication — honeysuckle, lemon zest, clementine, and fresh butter layered seamlessly with toasted hazelnut and a subtle touch of honey. On the palate, the experience is silky, mineral, and impeccably refined, offering notes of candied lemon, flaked almonds, citrus, and fresh hazelnut carried by extraordinary precision and length. Crafted from a blend of 2012 (65%), 2008 (25%), and 2007 (10%), Iteration Nº26 reflects the unique personality of each harvest while achieving a harmonious expression greater than the sum of its parts. The majority Chardonnay composition lends vibrancy and elegance, while Pinot Noir contributes depth, texture, and structure. The result is a Grand Cru Champagne with exceptional aging potential and timeless sophistication.

Why Collectors & Connoisseurs Seek Grand Siècle Unlike traditional vintage Champagne, Grand Siècle is a meticulous prestige cuvée designed around perfection rather than a single harvest. This philosophy, combined with extended cellar aging and Grand Cru sourcing, has established Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle as one of the world’s most respected luxury Champagnes for collectors, celebrations, and fine dining occasions. A Champagne not defined by a year — but by the pursuit of excellence itself.
