The heavier clay based soils produces wine dark fruits and spice
Pungent nutty aromas with a smoky wood background
Barrel-fermented in neutral French oak
This shows such complex and beautiful aromas of flowers
It is a wine with a great body due to the present tannins and balanced acidity
Grand Siecle par Laurent-Perrier No 23 Brut NV 1.5L Half Case (6x750ml) The heavier clay based soilsDried lemons, salted almonds, oyster shells, croissants, iodine, baked apples, spices and some ginger notes. White pepper, too. Vibrant and fresh, with a distinct saline edge. I like the subtle spice character.
