Laurent Perrier, Ultra Brut NV Champagne 17 Drink 2009-11
One of the most successful bone-dry champagnes.
Food Matching Note:
Its subtle balance makes this wine an excellent choice for enhancing the flavours of a wide range of dishes. Goes well with seafood or goats cheeses, as well as lightly spiced Chinese cooking.
Tasting Note:
Crystal clear and bright. Very fine and strong bead. Intense and refined. The aromas range from flowers (honeysuckle) to citrus and white fruit. The overall impression is very fresh. Light and delicate with surprising length. Fruit, flower and mineral flavours mingle to give a wonderfully pure and crisp taste.
Vinification Note:
Made only from vintages with the highest level of maturity, the grapes are sorted to retain only those with the optimum natural sugar levels, and the lowest acidity. The wine is aged after the second fermentation for at least four years before being disgorged. Unlike other champagnes, Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut has no 'dosage' whatsoever and with no sugar being added after disgorging it results in a totally dry champagne.
