Champagne Grand Siecle N°25

The NV Brut Grande Cuvée Grand Siècle No. 25 is bright and effusive right out of the gate, with plenty of floral and citrus notes that lend brightness. Hints of pastry, orchard fruit and spice open with a bit of time but overall the No 25 is a Champagne to admire for its overall energy. I would give this a few years to soften.

A blend of the 2008, 2007 and 2006 vintages, with fully 55% deriving from 2008, Laurent-Perrier's NV Brut Grand Siècle #25 is coming into its own today, bursting from the glass with scents of nectarine, pear, orange oil and confit citrus mingled with notions of buttery pastry, brioche, iodine, dried white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and incisive, with a fleshy core of fruit girdled by racy acids and animated by a pretty pinpoint mousse, it's seamless and harmonious, concluding with a long, penetrating finish.
