The month of May brings with it many toasts: college graduations, bridal showers, births of babies and impending weddings. While ordinary champagne averages 90 calories per glass, each bubble begins to stack up when one is watching the hourglass figure.
 

Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut Champagne is not only Ultra Dry for spectacular sensation; it is also Ultra Low with only 65 calories per glass. Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut achieves this due to the fact it is essentially Champagne in its purest form without the addition of any sugar. Laurent-Perrier was well known for its Grand Vin sans Sucre in the 19th Century and continues to produce a Champagne of this type. In fact Laurent-Perrier is one of the few Champagne houses to produce Champagne without the addition of sugar.
 

Tasting Notes courtesy of Laurent-Perrier:
Appearance: Limpid, bright yellow with fine bead.
Nose: Intense and forward, with citrus and honeysuckle notes and a unique mineral component, oftentimes likened to a fresh sea breeze.
Taste: Surprising depth and power, with a purity and concentration of flavor all its own. Amazingly well balanced and absolutely bone dry.
 

Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut pairs well with a variety of appetizers such as goat cheese and sushi, but goes marvelously with oysters.
