#1 Wine of the Year, 100 pts. by JamesSuckling.com, besting the almost 39,000 wines that were tasted in 2023. 19.5/20 Jancis Producer's Notes: A blend of 3 outstanding years declared as vintage by Laurent-Perrier, chosen for their complimentary traits: one year for structure, one year for finesse and one year for freshness. Starry bright in character with a fine effervescence. An intense and complex nose of slightly candied fruits, followed by aromas of fresh pastry, grilled almonds, subtle hints of honey and gingerbread. Well-rounded and developed, the wine brings a feeling of fullness while its beautiful minerality leaves an outstanding sensation of freshness –Grand Siècle offers a perfect balance between strength and delicacy. Grand Siècle pairs with high quality products and refined dishes, particularly «surf & turf» combinations, seafood and noble fish.
