"Pioneer of the Brut Nature category, Ultra Brut is a wine with no added sugar. It expresses the quintessential character of champagne and was known as a 'Great Wine without sugar'. Launched in 1981, Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut is a true illustration of the House’s know-how. Intense and complex on the nose with a wide range of aromas, including fruits (citrus and white fruit), flowers (honeysuckle) and iodine notes, which give off an impression of freshness. This airy and delicate wine of a surprising length is characterised by high purity of taste, a long and non-saturating finish. This wine pairs perfectly with seafood, sushi and a white fish ceviche as well as a young parmesan or a pata negra ham." - House Notes
"Light-medium straw-yellow colour, some age development showing on the bouquet as well, where it's quite toasty and mellow, the flavour penetrating and very dry, long and balanced, not sharp or austere, a high-quality example of the dry style. Lemon and toast/brioche flavours fill the mouth. Some cork-age suspected. Impressive." - 95 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
