100-POINT
CHAMPAGNE
PERFECTION
James Suckling’s Wine of the Year 2023 ...
“This is really something. Spectacular. Fascinating”
Champagne Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle
Iteration No.26 is simply flawless.
That’s the view of leading US critic James
Suckling, who gave this a rare 100-point
score and made it his Wine of the Year 2023.
Not just the best Champagne. But the finest
still or sparkling wine he’d tasted all year.
How did they achieve perfection? Well,
Grand Siècle is a unique prestige cuvée in
that it’s made from three vintages.
The idea is simple. Nature will never
provide a perfect vintage. But by blending
three complementary years for structure,
freshness and elegance, the Grande Marque
can create one.
So Champagne Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle
Iteration No.26 is an assemblage of 2012, 2008
and 2007, from eight Grands Crus. Aged on
its lees for 10 years, it has amazing depth and
complexity with a luxurious creamy opulence.
“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 ... Savory
and vibrant. It’s full of energy.” James Suckling
Forget the big names and flashy bottles
touted by celebrities, Grand Siècle is the
luxury Champagne for serious wine fans.
