Made by the traditional method, with secondary fermentation in the bottle that gives Champagne its fine, persistent bead, this non-vintage Brut comes from Laurent-Perrier. La Cuvee leans on a high proportion of Chardonnay in the blend, a choice that tends toward freshness and a lighter, more linear style than Pinot-dominant houses, with the crispness and gentle autolytic character that define dry Champagne.
