THE STORY BEHIND THE WINE
Laurent-Perrier has elected to be highly selective by only producing a vintage in the very best years. This means that the Brut Millésimé is a unique and exceptional wine. By staying true to its House style, pure in its flavours and crisp in its definition, it aims to show the quintessential character of each year.
Laurent-Perrier’s vintage wines have excellent ageing capacity.
Brut Millésimé 2008
Laurent-Perrier has chosen to make vintages very rarely, only selecting the very best years. This makes the Brut Millésimé a rare and outstanding wine that clearly expresses the specific character of a year in the Laurent-Perrier style.
The year 2008 began with an unusually mild winter and was followed by a warm spring. The picking started early in late August with a generous harvest of grapes of great maturity and quality.

Tasting Notes
A light golden colour with a fine effervescence. Very delicate yet direct and bright on the nose offering floral notes and a nice complexity. A bold attack of citrus flavours, great freshness and a touch of salinity. The initial attack gives way to white fruit notes and then bitter orange flavours on the finish.
Serve between 9°C and 11°C.
