Buy OnlineFounded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is renowned for its innovation alongside traditional winemaking values. Héritage Brut is a special edition cuvée crafted with the exacting savoir-faire you’d expect from one of Champagne’s most distinguished houses. Composed of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from some of the region’s finest vineyards, the cuvée features reserve wines from the exceptional 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2019 vintages.
The result is a harmonious balance of freshness, elegance and complexity. Discover notes of lemon, white peach and toasted almonds, with a hint of citrus zest on a lively and refined finish. Its fine bubbles and rich flavours make it an ideal pairing for dishes like puff pastry with mushrooms or a rich chicken pie. If you appreciate the complexity of Grand Siècle, Héritage is an opportunity to experience a fresh and elegant expression of Laurent-Perrier's renowned craftsmanship.
Winery notes (NV)
"Héritage is borne out of the savoir-faire of Grand Siècle: a complex blend of several vintages from the best Crus of Champagne and two grape varieties, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Made exclusively with reserve wines selected for their freshness, elegance and complexity, this wine offers great purity and perfect maturity.
A nose offering notes of lemon, white peach and fruits in syrup followed by aromas of toasted bread and toasted almonds. Fresh at first which gives way to a lively, elegant and complex palate with aromas of white fruits and citrus zest. Héritage offers a perfect balance between freshness, elegance and maturity with notes of floral honey."
94/100 Yohan Castaing, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate, Octoeber 2024 (NV)
"The inaugural NV Héritage from Laurent-Perrier is a new cuvée composed of 40 different crus, including grands crus and premiers crus, entirely crafted from vins de réserve. A tribute to the heritage and expertise of Grand Siècle, it offers up aromas of blanched almonds, spices, brioche, spring flowers and lemon oil, mingled with a lovely, smoky reduction. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and round, with a sappy, layered texture, it has a fleshy core of fruit enhanced by bright acids and a long, mineral finish. Chef de Cave Michel Fauconnet has crafted a stunning wine."

"Tasted blind from magnum. Very fine bead. Quite complex and layered. Tight but satisfying. Lime and blossomy. Delicate but interesting! Rather ethereal. Aperitif wine."
93/100 Tom Hewson, Decanter UK, June 2024 (NV)
"This new multi-vintage cuvée feels very at home in Laurent-Perrier's lineup, displaying some density and concentration evident in the choice of the reserve wines from all around Champagne which constitute the blend from 2019, 2018, 2016 and 2014. Led by 55% Chardonnay, with the balance Pinot Noir, there's a super-ripe, juicy orange fruit and tropical lilt to the profile here, with succulent apricot, pear and lemon peel pulled into quite a firm, tightly bound coil of structure. It's detailed with an energising, super subtle twist of quinine-like bitterness and some richer roasted almond notes hinting at maturity. For now it feels complete, yet not fully unwound. There's fine, compressed intensity here that will emerge beautifully with a little time on cork or, failing that, enough time to warm up in the glass."
