The 2006 Millésime Brut reflects the vintage as well as the house style of Laurent-Perrier. It blends the vivacious freshness and white fruit flavors of Chardonnay with the full ripeness of Pinot Noir (50/50). Citrus-yellow in color and with a fine perlage, the 2006 opens with intense and fresh citrus aromas intermixed with white fruit, apricot, brioche and nougat flavors. Mouth-filling, round and fresh on the palate, this vintage reveals a stunning finesse and salinity in the lean and elegant, persistent and refreshing finish. This is a very well-defined and stimulatingly fresh and mineral vintage Champagne with a silky texture. A remarkably good 2006.

This has the richness and roundness of 2006, though it finishes dry, with crunchy apple flavors and chalky acidity. Tart and supple, this is an old-fashioned yeasty Champagne with contemporary power.

Smoke and mineral notes underscore a ripe and juicy mix of cassis and white peach fruit flavors, and notes of candied ginger and orange zest, in this bright Champagne, with a lively bead. Drink now through 2026. 470 cases imported.
