"Among the 39,000 wines reviewed this year by James Suckling, Grand Siècle Iteration Nº26 not only received the highest note 100/100, but was also given the “Wine of the Year” award, making it the best wine in the world this year." LP

Siècle No 26 refers to the Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Iteration No. 26, a prestigious multi-vintage Champagne blending the exceptional 2012 (65%), 2008 (25%), and 2007 (10%) vintages, with a dominant 58% Chardonnay and 42% Pinot Noir from Grand Cru villages, known for its rich, complex profile of citrus, brioche, and mineral notes, earning high praise from critics and serving as a benchmark for blended Champagne. 

Recreating the perfect year Vintage in Champagne is usually synonymous with excellence for Prestige Cuvées. Contrarily, Laurent‑Perrier believes that only the art of assemblage can offer what nature can never provide, that is, the perfect year. The expression of the perfect year is that of a great champagne wine that has long ageing potential and over time develops depth, intensity and aromatic complexity yet retains its freshness and vibrancy.

"This is really something. Electric on the palate. The aromas are so complex with sliced fresh and dried ginger, subtle pie crust, tarte tatin and hints of nutmeg with some salted caramel. Toasted bread, too. Always subtle. The palate is full- to medium-bodied yet hemmed-in with a freshness and balance that draws you back. Savory and vibrant. It's full of energy. Spectacular. Fascinating." 100/100 James Suckling
