Grand Siecle Par Laurent-Perrier No 27 Champagne NV 3pk 3x750ml

Since 1959, Laurent-Perrier has chased an impossible idea. While most prestige Champagnes celebrate a single great harvest, founder Bernard de Nonancourt believed nature would never hand him a flawless year—so he decided to build one. Grand Siècle was launched in 1959 as a blend of the 1952, 1953, and 1955 vintages, three exceptional years assembled to create something greater than any one of them alone. The name honors the Grand Siècle, the "Great Century" of Louis XIV, when France's artistry reached its zenith.

This is Iteration N°27—and the numbering matters. Since its launch in 1959, only 27 blends of Grand Siècle have been produced, each one given a number so collectors and sommeliers can identify exactly which assemblage they're drinking. N°27 draws on three contrasting harvests, with 65% from 2015, 25% from 2013, and 10% from 2012. As cellar master Olivier Vigneron describes it, the generous, sun-soaked 2015 brought richness that needed balancing, while the 2013 and 2012 vintages elevate the wine far beyond where most 2015s alone can reach—one year chosen for structure, one for finesse, one for freshness.

The house sits in Tours-sur-Marne, and its style is unmistakable: freshness, purity, and precision. None of the wines are aged in oak, and fermentation happens in seamless stainless-steel tanks—Laurent-Perrier's obsessive defense against oxidation, protecting the wine's floral lift. The blend is 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir, drawn from a selection of grand cru villages, then aged on the lees for at least 10 years to build aromatic depth without sacrificing vibrancy. Critics took notice: James Suckling awarded it 99 points, and Wine Enthusiast scored it 95.
