Tasting Notes:
Pale gold in colour with fine and persistent bubbles. The nose is delicate and fresh, showing good complexity with its hints of citrus and white fruit.

Brut L-P is aged on its lees for approximately three years - whereas the requirement is only 15 months in Champagne. Only a very light dosage (12 grams per litre) is used to preserve its balance and natural freshness. After dosage, all Laurent-Perrier's wines are cellared for a further three months prior to shipping.
Serve between 8°C and 10°C.
Grape Variety:
Chardonnay 45%, Pinot Noir 40%, Pinot Meunier 15%.

Brut L-P is aged on its lees for approximately three years and only a very light dosage is used to preserve its balance and natural freshness.
