Production
Laurent-Perrier uses the méthode champenoise for their champagne production. Grand Siecle is composed of Approximately 55% Chardonnay and 45% Pinot Noir from 11 grand cru villages.

For the production of Grand Siecle, Laurent-Perrier blends three of the very best vintages from the very best crus to maintain consistency and excellence. Dosage varies but generally is about 8 grams per liter.
