"Dried lemons, salted almonds, oyster shells, croissants, iodine, baked apples, spices and some ginger notes. White pepper, too. Vibrant and fresh, with a distinct saline edge. I like the subtle spice character. So much subtle power and tension. 58% chardonnay and 42% pinot noir, from 2006, 2004 and 2002. 14 years on the lees, three or four more than the normal bottle release. Only available in magnum."

"Laurent-Perrier likes to bring out new editions in magnum based on previously released Champagnes that have benefited from prolonged cellaring. This cuvée is a blend of 65% of the 2006 vintage, 20% of 2004 and 15% of 2002 sourced from 11 different grand cru sites. The announced ambition is to attain the perfect year expressing depth and aromatic complexity as well as freshness. A fantastic and generous bouquet that has kaleidoscopic-like scents of white fruits, French pastry, flowers, spices and candied lemon. There is full-bodied vinosity on the palate that is carried forward to the long, mouthwatering finish by a delightful saltiness. A full-throated expression for this captivating Champagne. Dosage: 7g/L. Disgorged: April 2020."
