Beautifully aged Rose Champagne drank in Bordeaux at Leoville Las Cases during dinner. Wish I could have enjoyed more than a couple of sips. Even when not drinking, wines like this should be at least sipped! — 9 days ago

The latest release of the Grand Siècle from Laurent Perrier is a truly spectacular Champagne. Disgorged in October 2017 the wine is a blend of the top wines made from 2002, 2004 and 2006. The bouquet is simply intoxicating with amazing range, from honeydew lemon to citrus rind, brioche and Japanese pear. On the palate, this shows an excellent combination of viscosity and tension. Apricot, Challah bread, marzipan and kumquat zest flavors all marvelously combine togehter. While this is a marvelous Champagne that is built to age, it is simply impossible to resist right now.

In the ski chalet or in this case, the bar- Salmontini that overlooks Ski Dubai inside The Mall of the Emirates. Sofía is skiing and I’m having a glass Laurent-Perrier. Two bad discs don’t make for enjoyable skiing. Perhaps, the worst thing I could do for them. I’m getting the better end of the deal! 😋

We already spent a half-hour playing with King Penguins! 🐧 What fun!

As for the champagne, the nose reveals, green apple, lemon lime, pineapple, some hints of green melon and honey, vanilla, cream soda, beautiful soft chalkiness, sea shells, gentle volcanic minerals, spring flowers, Jasmine and yellow lilies.

The body is nice and glides easily over the palate. Nice mousse and mouthfeel. Green apple, lemon lime, pineapple, some hints of green melon and honey, vanilla, cream soda, notes of ginger, baguette crust, beautiful soft chalkiness, sea shells, more pronounced volcanic minerals than the nose and penetrate into the palate, spring flowers, Jasmine and yellow lilies. Really nice soft acidity and micro bubbles. The finish is rich, elegant, nicely polished and persists minutes.

Happy Good Friday and Easter weekend!

Fun stuff. Low alcohol (12% I believe), slight pepper note, melon, citrus elements and great acid. Such a fun food wine. — a month ago

Hello beautiful! I really enjoyed this wine because it absolutely follows house style - great acid, lemon core with the vintages bring brioche and some subtle spice. Palette full and balanced and, as promised, in a great drinking window. Lovely wine. — a month ago

Still had to do a Rosé champagne along with the Blanc de Blanc on a Friday night. Habits!

This is perfect when you want the center balanced of the Billecart Salmon Rosé and Ruinart Rosé. — a month ago
