Top five Laurent-Perrier Champagnes to try
Laurent-Perrier, Les Réserves Grand Siècle (magnum)
A magnificent way to celebrate L-P’s bicentenary. Based on the 1990, ’93 and ’95 vintages, this wine was set aside by Bernard de Nonancourt and Michel Fauconnet specifically for the occasion and bottled only in magnums and jeroboams. It is exotic and intense, full of honeyed lime, brioche and caramelised nut flavours. With a hint of mushroomy age and a long, creamy finish, it’s a wonderfully engaging wine with exuberance and finesse in equal measure. 18.75pts/20 (95+/100)
Price: £2,400 (jeroboam) Selfridges
