Experience the luxurious Laurent Perrier Grand Siècle No.26 'Grand Cuvée'. With its delicate and persistent bubbles, this white gold coloured champagne is bound to impress. Its complex nose offers a mix of fresh aromas like honeysuckle, lemon, clementine, and butter followed by hints of hazelnut and honey. The palate is silky and mineral, with a delicate and fresh taste of candied lemon, hazelnut, honeysuckle, and clementine.

"Smoky, oatmeal, subtle dairy character behind the wine. Toasty and rich with long, intense baked-apple fruit on the palate. Very grand, expressive, rich and lengthy."
