Laurent Perrier Brut Millesime 2008

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast

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, aiding in longevity. Drink from 2022.

95 Points - James Suckling

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 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A blend of equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that was disgorged with eight grams per litre 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 brilliant finish. This is aging very gracefully.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

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. Drink now through 2028.
