Stephen Tanzer's IWC, December 2005

Pale color. Concentrated, somewhat exotic nose offers strong soil tones: minerals, flint, oyster liquor and mint. Then brisk and creamy in the mouth, with the strong acids of the vintage giving the concentrated lemon, mineral and spice flavors terrific penetration. Quite incisive but not hard or lean. Finishes long, lemony and brisk.

Wine Spectator, November 2005

A Champagne evoking elegance and finesse, this also has the hallmark 1996 structure. A fine mousse buoys its coffee, citrus and pencil shaving flavors, while the acidity carries them to a long conclusion. Drink now through 2012. 900 cases imported. –BS

About Winery

The chardonnay grape defines Laurent-Perrier's style and its reputation. The house's non-vintage cuvée has the highest
percentage of chardonnay of any made by the grandes marques. Laurent-Perrier has also been very innovative
on a number of fronts. These include its "Grand Siècle," a blend of three vintages, as well as its saignee method roses. Expect finesse and elegance across the portfolio.
