Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut, Champagne, France NV
A pioneering Champagne that helped define the Brut Nature category, Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut has been setting the standard for zero-dosage Champagne since 1981. Crafted from a precise blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from 15 prestigious crus, this cuvée relies entirely on exceptional grape maturity and careful blending for its balance, no sugar is added at dosage. Aged for approximately six years in the cellar, it delivers remarkable purity, freshness and complexity.
The nose is crystalline and intensely fresh, with lemon zest, grapefruit, green apple and white pear, lifted by honeysuckle and subtle iodine-like mineral notes. The palate is bone-dry, energetic and beautifully focused, combining chalky minerality with vibrant citrus, delicate white fruit and a fine, persistent mousse. Despite its austere profile, the wine is remarkably balanced, finishing long, clean and saline.
