Description
What kind of wine it is
Prince Laurent Champagne Brut is a sparkling wine with a dry and decisive style, produced using the Traditional Method. It is created from a harmonious blend in which Chardonnay stands out, accompanied by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Visually, it displays a pale gold hue, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers clear notes of white-fleshed fruit and citrus, followed by fragrant hints of yeast, bread crust and brioche. On the palate, the creamy and savoury texture balances excellent freshness, fading into delicate hints of almond and sweet spices, with a long and clean finish. The cuvée is also suitable for those following a vegan diet.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the historic region of the Champagne appellation, more specifically from the canton of Charly-sur-Marne, along the banks of the Marne. In this area, the vines grow on renowned chalky soils, essential for imparting pronounced mineral tension and savouriness to the raw material. The brand pays tribute to Laurent, a winegrower and First World War hero, celebrated upon his return as prince of these lands. Thanks to the unique geographical and pedoclimatic characteristics, the Champagne produced here expresses an authentic and unmistakable profile, intimately linked to the roots of the territory.
How it is produced
Production strictly follows the Traditional Method, an essential technique to ensure a slow prise de mousse and achieve an elegant, silky effervescence. The process aims to enhance the natural liveliness of the fruit, maintaining a fragrant bouquet. Served at an ideal temperature between 6 and 8°C, it proves to be an excellent aperitif. At the table, its pronounced acidity makes it perfect for pairing with sushi and shellfish, and it also harmonises beautifully with salmon, tuna, pork dishes and cheese selections.
History and Curiosities
The Prince Laurent brand celebrates the legacy of Laurent, a hero of the First World War who was welcomed on his return as the true Prince of Champagne. This fascinating story intertwines with that of the Baron-Fuenté winery, founded in 1967. On the prized chalky soils of Charly-sur-Marne, the estate carefully selects the finest grapes of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Through the rigorous traditional method, a refined cuvée comes to life, enhancing the region with a distinctive, fresh and fruity profile.
