Aromatic profile
The structure of this champagne
Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs imparts a citrus-driven minerality and the taut acidity that is the hallmark of the 2012 vintage.
Roundness
Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and extended lees ageing bring a velvety generosity that tempers the wine's acidic backbone.
Depth
A vintage born of the bicentenary, the 2012 displays a structured character without ever sacrificing elegance for weight.
Length
The finish lingers on candied citrus and toasted almonds, sustained by a persistent, chalky minerality.
TASTING NOTES
Pale gold in colour with warm golden highlights, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is complex and elegant, weaving candied citrus, white peach, toasted brioche and a delicate hint of almond. On the palate, the attack is lively and mineral, the texture generous and silky, underpinned by a beautiful tension that carries through to a long, chalky finish of grapefruit and limestone.

Terroirs
An exclusive Grand Cru assemblage uniting Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant, Chouilly) with the depth of Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims (Bouzy, Aÿ, Verzy, Mailly). The sun-drenched summer of 2012 — the house's bicentenary vintage — delivered ideal ripeness, yielding concentration and freshness in perfect equilibrium.
About this house
Founded in 1812 in Tours-sur-Marne, Laurent-Perrier is one of the rare great Champagne houses to remain independent and family-owned. Under the stewardship of Alexandra Pereyre de Nonancourt, the house upholds a style of rigorous finesse, rooted in terroir precision and purity of fruit.
A pioneer of the saignée Rosé and the Ultra Brut, Laurent-Perrier is defined by an unwavering standard of excellence: the Millésimé is produced only in exceptional years, drawing exclusively from the Grand Cru reserves set aside for the prestige cuvée Grand Siècle. The 2012, an anniversary vintage, stands as its most accomplished expression.
Food pairing
The perfect pairing
Between the champagne and its dish
Aperitif
Sa bulle fine et sa fraîcheur citronnée subliment les gougères au fromage, éveillant l'appétit avec légèreté.
Starter
La minéralité crayeuse et les notes d'agrumes du 2012 répondent parfaitement aux herbes fraîches et au citron du gravlax de saumon.
Main Course
La rondeur du Pinot Noir et la tension du Chardonnay s'harmonisent avec la douceur végétale et la crémosité du risotto aux asperges.
