Harmony is an intense golden yellow in colour with a steady stream of fine bubbles. The nose is rich with notes of dried fruits, almonds & hazelnuts as well as toasted aromas. With age, the nose evolves developing deeper notes of honey & pine resin. Full-bodied & generous, it is a rich wine with a rounded feel. Harmony brings out the best of sweet & savoury dishes & pairs particularly well with desserts & pastries. Best served between 6?C & 8?C. The general movement towards drier wines, together with the habit of drinking champagne as an apritif, has popularised the consumption of brut champagnes. However, many wine-lovers still enjoy the sweetness of past pleasures provided by a demi-sec. Harmony is a rounded & delicate demi-sec thanks to a high proportion of Chardonnay & a well-balanced dosage. The dosage blends harmoniously into the wine, bringing both freshness & sweetness to this champagne. Harmonys finesse is due to the predominance of Chardonnay, around 45%, which is blended with Pinot Noir (40%) & Meunier (15%). It is a blend of over 55 crus with up to 20% reserve wines to ensure a consistent House style. Its sweetness is imparted by the liqueur de dosage (40g/L). It is aged in the cellars for a minimum of three years before being released as it reaches perfect maturity. ...

Its creation is contemporary like that of Nouvelle Cuisine. Similar to this lighter, purer way of preparing food, Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut appears without make-up, in its natural form. It is a brut nature champagne, that is, with no dosage, & making it requires considerable know-how. Its style appeals to a growing number of wine-lovers who discover with it many new ways of enjoying champagne. The blend combines a small majority of chardonnay with pinot noir & is made exclusively with grapes from very ripe harvests. Bunch selection is rigorous, to ensure that only the grapes with high sugar levels & low acidity are retained. These conditions are necessary to create a finished champagne that has the required balance without any dosage. The ageing is long, lasting for at least four years. Its delicate finish, which leaves the palate fresh, & its subtle balance make this the most versatile champagne in Laurent-Perrier's range. Its capacity to bring out flavours in food makes it absolutely ideal from aperitif to dessert. This champagne pairs well with caviar or foie gras, seafood or oysters
