"Laurent-Perrier very rarely makes vintages, declaring less than one out of two years compared with the market average of over three out of four years.
Exclusively crafted from the best Crus – Chardonnay grapes from the Côte des Blancs and Pinot Noir grapes from the Montagne de Reims.
The Vintage is the choice of an exceptional year from which selected Grands Crus of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir will enter into a future iteration of Grand Siècle. It is a rare and outstanding wine that expresses the character of the year in the Laurent-Perrier style.
Mineral and chalky notes giving way to elegant grapefruit and white fruit aromas. The palate is lively, the wine has depth with a persistent freshness and notes of bitter orange and lemon on the finish."
96/100 & Top Cellar Selections of 2019, Wine Enthusiast, December 2019 (2008 Vintage)
"While still young, this Champagne has all the makings of greatness. Produced from grand cru vineyards, it already balances ripe white fruits with a firm structure that will age well. It's relatively dry and has plenty of acidity, which will also aid in the longevity."
95/100 James Suckling, July 2019 (2008 Vintage)
"This is a solid and very dense Champagne with a phenolic and rich texture. Layers of cooked apples and light lemon rind. Brioche and light pie-crust in the aftertaste. Fresh and relatively dry aftertaste."
93/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, March 2021 (2008 Vintage)
"A blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that was disgorged with eight grams per liter dosage, the 2008 Brut Millésimé is showing nicely today, unwinding in the glass with aromas of green apple, pear, orange oil, spices and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, with tangy acids and a pillowy mousse, it concludes with a penetrating finish. This is aging very gracefully."
93/100 Vinous, July 2019 (2008 Vintage)
"The 2008 Brut Millésimé is a gorgeous wine that expresses all of the pedigree of the vintage beautifully. Complex and nuanced, with tons of class, the 2008 has so much to offer. Dried pear, mint, chamomile, crushed rock, dried flowers and pastry overtones are all laced together in this finely-knit, resonant Champagne. At $75.00 a bottle, Laurent-Perrier’s Brut Millésimé is one the best widely available vintage Champagne readers find from this historic harvest."
93/100 Wine Spectator, December 2019 (2008 Vintage)
"A finely knit Champagne, defined by well-cut acidity that frames notes of Asian pear, white cherry, slivered almond and fleur de sel. The mousse shows a lovely creamy viscosity. Hints of citrus and spice emerge on the finish."
