Contrarily, Laurent‑Perrier believes that only the art of assemblage can offer what nature can never provide, that is, the perfect year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe expression of the perfect year is that of a great champagne wine that has long ageing potential and over time develops depth, intensity and aromatic complexity yet retains its freshness and vibrancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to the format, Grand Siècle in Magnum (150cl) is deliberately aged for a longer time on lees. This additional maturation leads to a further expression of Grand Siècle displaying greater aromatic depth, density and a silkier texture. Since 1959, Grand Siècle has been revealed only 26 times in bottle format and 23 times in magnum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTHE ORIGIN OF THE NAME\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe « Grand Siècle » (Great Century) is the name given to one of the most prosperous periods (17th century) in the history of France known for the capacity of man, through his works, to create what nature cannot. Louis XIVth, known as the « Sun King », by creating the « Château de Versailles » and its gardens, was the architect of this model of harmony, balance and perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe symmetry and perspective of the « Jardins à la française », the capacity to grow Mediterranean fruits (especially Oranges inside the « Orangerie ») in such a Northern climate, creating the Grand Canal, the fountains and ponds with no nearby rivers are many illustrations of this ability of man to sublimate natural elements. The name of Grand Siècle was chosen for Laurent‑Perrier’s Prestige Cuvée based on this common vision to reach a perfection that Nature, on its own, cannot provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e12% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e75cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laurent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54687101911365,"sku":"3258434270002","price":179.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/4092611553.jpg?v=1746550711","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/laurent-perrier-grand-siecle-10-year-old-aged-no-25-75cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
