Laurent-Perrier’s Grand Siècle Gift Set

This limited edition set comes with a single bottle of Laurent-Perrier's  multi-vintage Grand Siècle champagne and six hand-blown Baccarat crystal champagne flutes. Laurent-Perrier, which was founded in 1812 and located in Tours-sur-Marne, France, is the world's largest family-owned champagne house.

The Grand Siècle champagne is a blend of the '95 (20%), '96 (20%) and 1998 (60%) vintages. It is half Chardonnay, half Pinot Noir and all the fruit comes from Grand Cru villages in Champagne. It received a 91 points Wine Spectator who stated: "Lovely aromas of candied berry, coffee and citrus pick up a mineral accent as this glides across the palate. Elegant, with depth, balance and grace that lasts and lasts. Fine, lingering aftertaste."

The Gift set will cost $3,100 and will be available in time for the holidays.
