Champagne Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2012 MAGNUM is a vintage of great elegance, designed for those seeking a refined, complex Champagne that can precisely express the identity of a selected harvest. Signed by Laurent-Perrier, it combines balance, finesse, and depth in a Magnum format ideal for enhancing the aromatic evolution and the pleasure of the bubbles.

Territory and style of the wine

This Champagne is born from an equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sourced from crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The combination of these two elements makes the wine harmonious and precise, with the freshness and tension typical of Chardonnay and the broader structure of Pinot Noir. The 2012 vintage, marked by complex climatic conditions but favored by a dry and sunny summer, produced healthy and ripe grapes, allowing for a characterful, elegant, and well-defined vintage. The long aging of 10 years contributes to the overall depth and finesse of the sip.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a brilliant white gold color and a very fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet is broad and refined, with a pronounced floral imprint accompanied by hints of citrus and white peaches. On the palate, the entry is lively, the wine is present yet delicate, with a texture of great finesse. The finish is marked by a lovely minerality and hints of grapefruit, with a fresh and clean finale that invites the next sip.

Recommended pairings

It is also suitable for more structured dishes such as seafood risottos, baked fish, noble poultry, and preparations with butter or light sauces. Its finesse makes it interesting even with not overly aged soft cheeses.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate its finesse and complexity, the ideal temperature is between 8 and 10 °C. If the wine is stored at cellar temperature, it is useful to let it rest for a few minutes in the glass after opening, to encourage the aromatic expression of the Magnum format.
