James recently tasted the Laurent-Perrier Champagne Grand Siècle Grand Cuvée N.23 NV Magnum, which impressed him so much he said to Lucie Pereyre de Nonacourt, who represents the fourth generation at Champagne Laurent-Perrier, and Edouard Cossy, the company's global director: "The aromas were amazing. Honestly, I can't think of a more beautiful Champagne with the aromas... that sort of brioche and tarte au limon." Lucie tells the story of how her grandfather founded the Laurent-Perrier Champagne Grand Siècle Grand Cuvée. When he became director of the house, he realized he had to have a prestige cuvée. He based the creation of his cuvée on a unique blend, which would take the champagne further in terms of quality and thus achieve his goal of recreating the perfect year – "one that nature cannot provide." Check out their conversation now to learn more about the Grand Siècle Grand Cuvée N.23 NV Magnum and when to expect its release.
