James met in Tuscany with one of the owners of Champagne Laurent-Perrier, Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt, and LP's commercial director, Edouard Cossy, to taste and talk about their soon-to-be-released No. 24 Grand Siècle in magnum.
James said that he found the wine to have "more honey, more richness, and even a tropical fruit sort of character that the normal bottle doesn't have... This has really taken on a whole extra dimension."
