What kind of wine is Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier (gift box)
The Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier (gift box) is an excellence signed by one of the most renowned Champagne houses, capable of combining tradition and modernity. Coming from the best crus of the region, this Millésimé is produced only in vintages considered exceptional, when nature offers grapes of such quality that they deserve separate vinification. Made using the Champenoise method – or classic method, which involves secondary fermentation in the bottle – it represents an authentic expression of the finesse and elegance typical of the Laurent-Perrier style.Vintage Details
The 2015 vintage was characterized by a stable and sunny climate, with a hot summer that favored optimal grape ripening. Cool nights at the end of the season helped preserve acidity, ensuring a balance between structure and freshness. The result is a harmonious wine that fully reflects the generosity of the vintage and the precision of the house.Winemaking and aging
The Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier (gift box) is composed equally of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, from the best vineyards of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. Fermentation takes place in steel to preserve the aromatic purity of the grapes. This is followed by a slow secondary fermentation in the bottle, with a period of aging on the lees for over 7 years: a time that provides depth, creaminess, and the typical finesse for which Laurent-Perrier is recognized worldwide. The final "Brut" dosage allows for the perfect balance between freshness and body.Tasting notes

How to best open and serve Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier (boxed)
1. Bottle positioning
To begin, place the bottle of Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier (boxed) horizontally or slightly tilted, so that the cork remains moist and maintains its seal. Avoid shaking or moving it abruptly: it is important that any sediment remains at the bottom. Before opening, let the bottle rest for a few hours at a constant temperature, avoiding sudden temperature changes or direct light.
2. Ideal serving temperature
The ideal serving temperature for this vintage champagne is between 10°C and 12°C. You can achieve this temperature by placing the bottle in an ice bucket with ice and water for about 20-25 minutes, or by leaving it in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Do not serve the wine too cold, as this would risk masking its aromatic complexity.
3. Opening the bottle
Follow these steps to open the Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier (boxed) safely and elegantly:
- Gently remove the foil capsule.
- Always keep your thumb over the cork while unscrewing the wire cage.
- Tilt the bottle to about 45° and hold it firmly at the base.
- Slowly rotate the bottle (not the cork) until you hear a slight release of air, avoiding the cork from "popping" loudly.
This method helps preserve the internal pressure and maintain the finesse of the bubbles.
4. Inspection and first taste
Pour a small amount into a tasting glass and observe the color and brilliance. The Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier (boxed) should display fine and persistent perlage, with golden hues and complex aromas of dried fruit and citrus notes. The first taste serves to verify that the wine has no defects or signs of oxidation.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
While decanting Champagne is not common, in the case of an aged vintage like the 2015, slight oxygenation can enhance the more complex aromas. You can pour the Champagne into a wide carafe, letting it rest for about 10 minutes, or simply serve it in the glass and wait a few minutes before tasting it, to allow the oxygen to open up the aromatic bouquet.
6. Serving
Serve the Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier (boxed) in tulip glasses or large flutes, which allow for good concentration of aromas. Pour slowly, tilting the glass slightly to preserve the bubbles. Ideal for pairing with refined dishes such as:
- seafood and shellfish,
- fish carpaccio,
- aged cheeses or dishes based on mushrooms and truffles.
7. Storage after opening
If you do not finish the bottle, re-seal it with an airtight sparkling wine stopper and store it in the refrigerator. The Champagne Brut Millésimé 2015 - Laurent-Perrier (boxed) will retain its effervescence for 24-48 hours. Avoid exposure to heat sources and abrupt movements. For maximum quality, consume the wine within two days of opening.
