The luxurious nature of the brand is exemplified by its most elegant Champagne: the multi-vintage prestige cuvée Grand Siècle.

Suggested retail price: $199. Please contact: marketing@laurentperrierus.com for retailers.

A blend of the best wines from several top vintages, Grand Siècle is a rare and uniquely complex Champagne. Committed to the Champagne craft, Laurent-Perrier’s innovative owner, Bernard de Nonancourt, introduced Grand Siècle in 1958. It is the first-ever prestige cuvée made from a blend of multiple and complementary vintages, ensuring pristine and consistent quality. This revolutionized the concept of prestige cuvée Champagne, which until then had been sold based on the merits of a single vintage.

The pure and modern look for Grand Siècle is in keeping with today’s luxury standards and reflects Grand Siècle’s dichotomy of elegance and power.

Grand Siècle is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced primarily from twelve of Champagne’s finest 100% Grand Cru vineyards. Versatile, complex and intense, Grand Siècle can be savored alone or served with a variety of holiday dishes, especially those with lobster, truffles, or mushrooms.

Tradition names Champagne the clearest choice for ringing in the New Year; Grand Siècle, translated from French to mean “Great Century,” is ideal for honoring a fantastic year to come.
