"Laurent-Perrier has always selected Chardonnay as the dominant grape variety in all its white cuvées and has been a pioneer of the Brut Nature category since 1981. By perfecting its knowledge of this style of vinification and with careful aging of this variety in stainless steel vats it has enabled Laurent-Perrier to create a Blanc de Blancs Nature. The nose displays minerality and hints of citrus. On the palate the wine is balanced and sustained with a finish that is fresh with notes of lemon. The Blanc de Blancs is a true wine for gastronomy pairing well with the finest fish: sea bass with salt crust, scallops, grilled marinated squid with lemon, thyme, olive oil as well white meats such as veal tartare with ginger and lemon." - House Notes
"Refined scents of flowers and white pears. The mid-palate is a lovely bag of spicy bonbons, nougat and peaches. Really long, rich and velvety with a lick of mouthwatering lemon curd in the aftertaste." - 95 Points, Decanter World Wine Awards
"Gaining gravitas from the generous use of reserve wines, here fruit from Côte des Blancs' Avize, Cramant, Oiry and Chouilly is complemented by Chardonnay from Tours-sur-Marne, Villers-Marmery and Rilly-La-Montagne on the Montagne de Reims. On the beautifully fresh nose, lime blossom and lemon custard tart are complemented by the most stylish smoky, toasty whiffs. The perfectly pure fruitiness has a lovely, soft creaminess to it from lees ageing. The palate continues on the same brisk lemony path but a little more subtle. There is great intensity to the smooth, rounded palate with racy drive. It is bone dry but takes it perfectly well without being cut short or becoming austere." - 93 Points, Essi Avellan MW
