Champagne Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle #23 - MAGNUM Assemblage of vintage years65% of the 2006 20% of the 2004 15% of the 2002 (a fabulous vintage) Winery Notes The grapes are supplied by ten of the most prestigious crus or villages, all of them Grands Crus classified at 100%, such as Ambonnay, Bouzy, Mailly, Avize, Cramant and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. My Tasting Notes: Wow! This was the “star” of the tasting. Creamy, round, with racy acidity. As a magnum, it was aged on the lees for 16 years (6 years longer than the 750ml), and you can tell as it has more autolytic notes. 100% stainless steel, Grand Cru grapes only. Amazing texture (creamy, long, with great acidity). As it warmed up, it released richer and riper fruit. A wow wine! Critical Acclaim 99 pts James Suckling Fabulous aromas of brioche, pie crust, lemon tart and fresh apple. Full-bodied, very dense and layered with freshness and energy that couples well with the palate. Powerful acidity gives great structure t
