Produced by the renowned house Laurent-Perrier, this collection exemplifies the house's philosophy: precision, elegance, time, and respect for the terroir. The cuvées were disgorged together on April 22, 2021, after decades of aging and then assembled in this unique presentation.

Three Exceptional Champagne Vintages in a Unique Gift Box

This collection includes:

• 1 × Laurent-Perrier Millésime Réserves 1997 – Magnum (1.5 L)

• 1 × Laurent-Perrier Millésime Réserves 1999 – Magnum (1.5 L)

• 1 × Laurent-Perrier Millésime Réserves 2000 – Magnum (1.5 L)

All three Champagnes are offered exclusively in Magnum format – the optimal bottle size for slow, harmonious aging. They are presented in a high-quality, solid wooden box, which emphasizes the exclusive character of this collection and makes it an ideal gift for significant occasions.

The Philosophy of Millésime Réserves

The Millésime Réserves from Laurent-Perrier are not classic vintage Champagnes but true historical documents. They are produced only in outstanding vintages, composed from strictly selected Grand and Premier Cru sites, and aged on lees for decades.

A central feature of this collection is its late disgorgement: only after over 20 years of bottle aging were the Champagnes disgorged to preserve maximum complexity, depth, and aromatic precision. The dosage for all three cuvées is 7 g/liter, ideally supporting the balance between maturity, freshness, and structure.

Laurent-Perrier Millésime Réserves 1997 – Elegance and Maturity

The 1997 vintage is considered classic, fine, and exceptionally elegant. The cuvée comes from a strict selection of renowned Crus from:

• Montagne de Reims: Bouzy, Verzy, Verzenay

• Côte des Blancs: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, Oger, Chouilly

Character & Style

This Champagne today shows impressive maturity with subtle freshness. On the nose, notes of candied citrus fruits, dried apricots, honey, hazelnut, and fine brioche unfold. On the palate, it is silky, harmonious, and deep, with perfectly integrated acidity and a long, elegant finish.

The Millésime Réserves 1997 stands for classic Champagne elegance and is a prime example of the exceptional aging potential of great Laurent-Perrier vintages in magnum.

Laurent-Perrier Millésime Réserves 1999 – Structure and Balance

The 1999 vintage is characterized by an excellent balance between power and finesse. The grapes come from:

• Montagne de Reims: Verzy, Verzenay, Ambonnay, Tours-sur-Marne

• Côte des Blancs: Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant, Oger, Chouilly

Character & Style

The aromas are dominated by ripe yellow fruits, quince, toasted almonds, fine spices, and subtle roasted notes. On the palate, the Champagne is structured, precise, and remarkably lively despite its long aging period. The perlage is fine and creamy, the finish long and mineral.

The Millésime Réserves 1999 combines maturity with tension and impressively demonstrates how harmoniously Pinot Noir and Chardonnay can develop over decades.

Laurent-Perrier Millésime Réserves 2000 – Complexity and Depth

The 2000 vintage marks the transition to a new millennium and therefore holds particular symbolic significance. The cuvée is based on a selection from:

• Montagne de Reims: Verzy, Mailly, Ambonnay, Bouzy

• Côte des Blancs: Avize, Cramant, Oger, Chouilly

Character & Style

This Champagne is remarkably complex today. On the nose, there are aromas of dried fruits, orange peel, caramel, toast, and fine mineral notes. On the palate, it is powerful, deep, and yet surprisingly precise, with an elegant freshness that perfectly balances its long aging.

The Millésime Réserves 2000 is a Champagne for connoisseurs, combining depth, history, and great aging potential.

Disgorgement & Dosage – Perfect Harmony

All three Champagnes in this collection were disgorged on April 22, 2021. This uniform disgorgement date ensures a comparable sensory development phase and makes the collection particularly exciting for tastings and vertical comparisons.

The dosage of 7 g/liter was deliberately chosen to be moderate, in order to:

• not overshadow the natural maturity

• preserve freshness

• harmoniously combine complex aromas

The Magnum Format – The Key to Perfection

It's no coincidence that these cuvées are available exclusively in Magnum format (1.5 L). Magnums offer:

• slower, more even aging

• finer perlage

• greater aromatic depth

• higher storage potential

Especially for Champagnes aged for decades, the Magnum format is the ideal container to preserve elegance, freshness, and structure long-term.

Luxurious Wooden Box – Collector's Item and Gift

The three Magnums are presented in a solid, high-quality wooden box, which not only provides protection but also emphasizes the exclusive character of this collection. It is perfect as:

• a high-class gift

• a collector's item

• a highlight of a private Champagne collection

• a prestigious corporate presentation

Serving Suggestion

For optimal enjoyment, we recommend a serving temperature of 10 to 12 °C.
Ideally, the Champagnes should be carefully decanted or sufficiently aerated to fully unfold their aromatic spectrum.
