THE PRODUCER
With Laurent Perrier’s growth over the last decade or more it might be easy to
overlook the fact that the house, under the late Bernard de Nonancourt
introduced innovations that were ground-breaking in their day, and considered
almost a requisite today … stainless steel, rose champagne, non-vintage prestige
cuvee and more. He also set Laurent Perrier on the path of Chardonnay-dominant
cuvees … except the rose which is 100% Pinot Noir. LP’s cuvees also spend longer
on lees than most. A Champagne house on the move.

THE WINE
Grand Siecle was created as a non-vintage cuvee in line with most non-vintage
champagnes – to offer consistent wines year after year. Blended only from the
very best Grand Cru villages of the Cote des Blancs and Montaigne de Reims the
blend usually undergoes eight years of ageing on the lees before disgorgement
making for a beautifully complex wine that will still age further to advantage.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
