Laurent Perrier Heritage Brut Champagne NV

This is a new cuvee from Laurent Perrier that is made up of entirely ‘reserve’ wines and bottled in mid-2025, it is from the 2019, 2018, 2016, and 2014 vintages. Composed of 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir, it was aged on its lees for four years and disgorged with a additional dosage of 6 grams per liter. The nose is taut and steely with a citrus, white flowers, ample minerality and just there toast. On the palate this has a seam of acidity backed up by lemon bars and some stone fruits. - D&M TASTING NOTES (MK, 10/2025)

“This new multi-vintage cuvée feels very at home in Laurent-Perrier's lineup, displaying some density and concentration evident in the choice of the reserve wines from all around Champagne which constitute the blend from 2019, 2018, 2016 and 2014. Led by 55% Chardonnay, with the balance Pinot Noir, there's a super-ripe, juicy orange fruit and tropical lilt to the profile here, with succulent apricot, pear and lemon peel pulled into quite a firm, tightly bound coil of structure. It's detailed with an energising, super subtle twist of quinine-like bitterness and some richer roasted almond notes hinting at maturity. For now it feels complete, yet not fully unwound. There's fine, compressed intensity here that will emerge beautifully with a little time on cork or, failing that, enough time to warm up in the glass.” - 93 PTS, TOM HEWSON, DECANTER (06/2024)
