Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut is Champagne in its most natural form. In 1980, Laurent-Perrier reintroduced the traditional Champagne concept of brut nature, a non-dosage Champagne that requires considerable know-how to the craft. Its style appeals to a growing number of wine lovers who discover with it many new ways of pairing food with Champagne.
With nearly equal parts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Ultra Brut is made exclusively with grapes from very ripe harvests. Selection is rigorous to ensure that only grapes with both high sugar levels and low acidity are used. This is essential as there is no dosage added. The second fermentation on yeast lasts at least four years.
Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut's delicate finish leaves the palate fresh, while its subtle balance makes it a remarkably versatile wine. Its capacity to bring out flavors in food makes it ideal as an aperitif or paired with dessert. This Champagne also pairs well with caviar, foie gras or even a cigar at the end of a meal!
