(187 ML) Laurent Perrier Brut Champagne Split

94 Points – James Suckling

Laurent-Perrier’s signature non-vintage Champagne is distinguished by a Chardonnay-led blend, giving La Cuvée a particularly fresh, elegant profile. In the 187ML split, that house style comes in a polished single-serving format ideally suited to individual toasts, events, gifting and occasions when opening a full bottle is unnecessary.

Blend: 52% Chardonnay, 32% Pinot Noir, 16% Meunier.

Tasting Notes: White peach, pear and apple lead into delicate floral notes, brioche and a subtle chalky character. The palate is fresh and finely textured, with a lively mousse balancing ripe orchard fruit and gentle pastry notes through a clean, persistent finish.

Structure: Chardonnay brings freshness and lift, while Pinot Noir adds shape and Meunier contributes suppleness. Fine bubbles and well-defined acidity keep the wine energetic and composed without sacrificing its approachable texture.

Drink Window: Drink now. La Cuvée is blended for freshness, balance and immediate enjoyment, and the 187ML format is particularly well suited to youthful service.

Decanting: No decanting. Serve well chilled, around 45–48°F, preferably in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass or small white-wine glass rather than a narrow flute.

The 187ML split makes Laurent-Perrier especially versatile for welcome pours, gift baskets, hotel amenities, weddings and individual celebrations. Its Chardonnay-led freshness gives it an elegant aperitif character, while the compact format provides a true single serving of Champagne with no need to preserve an unfinished bottle.
