✨ Technical Specifications
Before the sparkling revolution took hold of Champagne, the region's still red wines, particularly those from the sun-drenched, south-facing slopes of the Grand Cru village of Bouzy, were the darlings of French royalty. Laurent-Perrier's Bouzy Rouge is a rare, prestigious homage to this historic era. Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir grown in the chalky, clay-rich soils of Bouzy, this Coteaux Champenois AOC wine benefits from a unique microclimate that coaxes optimal ripeness from the grapes. Vinified as a still red, it undergoes traditional maceration and aging to express a delicate, mineral-driven profile. It weaves a narrative of bright red cherries, wild strawberries, and subtle forest floor, showcasing a lighter, more ethereal side of Pinot Noir that contrasts beautifully with its sparkling siblings.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1812 in Tours-sur-Marne by André Michel Pierlot and established under its enduring name by Mathilde Emilie Perrier, Champagne Laurent-Perrier is one of the world's most prestigious and family-owned Champagne houses. Under the visionary post-war leadership of Bernard de Nonancourt, the house pioneered an avant-garde winemaking philosophy centered on freshness, finesse, and Chardonnay-driven elegance, famously adopting stainless steel vats early on to preserve absolute aromatic purity. Laurent-Perrier is celebrated for shaping modern Champagne trends, boasting an iconic portfolio that includes the trailblazing zero-dosage Ultra Brut, the benchmark maceration-crafted Cuvée Rosé, and the illustrious prestige cuvée Grand Siècle, composed from multiple declared vintage years.
