Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut Limited Edition Giftset with a Baccarat vase

Exclusive to Harrods is the new Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut Limited Edition Gift complete with a Baccarat vase, the world’s finest crystal, and a bottle of the deliciously fresh Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut Champagne.

This customised Baccarat Perfection vase is inspired by the essence of Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut Champagne. Decorated with an unusual pink-enamel design in cherry blossom, the crystal vase is ideal for showcasing a magnificent spring bouquet. This versatile piece is also an elegant champagne bucket, designed to chill a bottle of Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut to perfection.

Renowned for its red cherry fruit aromas, this definitive pink champagne, with its freshness and supple rounded finish, is the ultimate toast to spring. Unlike most rosé champagnes that are made simply by blending red and white wines, Laurent-Perrier is crafted using a unique process called saignée, using only the highest quality grapes from the finest Grand Cru vineyards.

The Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut & Baccarat Limited Edition Giftset – with only 250 vases in the series – is priced at £1,000 ($2,000) and will be available at Harrods Wine Department, presented in a chic pink bag with a floral motif.

Le Voyage de Delamain – Grande Champagne cognacs


Le Voyage is a blend of Grande Champagne cognacs from the highly respected house of Delamain, nearly 250 years old.

The blend of these cognacs from yesteryear unfolds a kaleidoscope of subtle sensations: all the perfumes of Russian leather, the musky aroma of the tropics, the heady scent of tobacco from the Americas, of coffee from Africa heralding the spicy hints of the Far East and finally the bouquet of grapes from the hillsides of the Grande Champagne.

To ensure that the packing would be treasured, Delamain commissioned French glassmaker Baccarat to design a custom crystal decanter, forged from fire and silica, that would then be encased in a fan-shaped leather luxury gift box, reminiscent of a camera’s bellows.

Most of the 500 bottles sold worldwide have already been purchased or reserved but some are still available on vintagewinegifts priced at £4,000 a bottle.
