Vintage details
The 2015 vintage is considered one of the most interesting of the decade in Champagne.

How to best open and serve Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier
1. Bottle Positioning
Before opening Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier, ensure the bottle is correctly positioned. Keep it in a vertical position for a few hours, so that the sediment settles at the bottom and the wine stabilizes. Avoid vibrations and abrupt movements that could alter the delicacy of the bubbles.
2. Ideal Serving Temperature
The perfect temperature to best enjoy this Champagne Millésimé is between 8°C and 10°C. To achieve this:
- Chill the bottle in an ice bucket with ice and water for about 30 minutes before serving.
- Avoid prolonged refrigeration, as it can compromise the aroma and vivacity of the perlage.
3. Opening the Bottle
Opening a vintage Champagne requires care and attention. Follow these steps to preserve its elegance and safety:
- Gently remove the protective foil and loosen the wire cage, keeping your thumb on the cork.
- Hold the bottle tilted at about 45°, grasp the base, and slowly rotate the bottle (not the cork!).
- Allow the cork to slip out with a gentle sigh, not a “pop”: this indicates correct and respectful opening of the wine.
4. Inspection and First Taste
Pour a small amount of Champagne into a tasting glass to check its color, clarity, and aroma. A Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier should display golden hues and a delicate bouquet of ripe fruit, citrus, and toasted notes. If all is in order, proceed with serving.
5. Decanting and Oxygenation
While decanting Champagne is not common, a vintage like this can benefit from light oxygenation to best express its complex aromas. You can:
- Slowly pour the wine into a large Champagne glass or a tulip-shaped flute, allowing it to breathe for 5-10 minutes.
- Avoid any agitation, so as not to disperse the bubbles and preserve the fineness of the perlage.
6. Serving
Serve Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier in clean and dry glasses, filling them no more than one-third full. This allows you to fully appreciate its effervescence and aromatic profile. Pair the wine with refined dishes such as:
- shellfish and seafood,
- fish carpaccio,
- aged cheeses or poultry dishes.
7. Storage After Opening
If you don't finish the bottle, you can store it for up to 48 hours using a hermetic Champagne stopper. Store it in the refrigerator at a constant temperature of about 4°C. However, to fully enjoy the sensory experience of Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier, it is advisable to consume it within a few hours of opening.
