✨ Technical Specifications
Laurent-Perrier, founded in 1812, is renowned for its signature style of freshness, lightness, and elegance, largely shaped by the visionary Bernard de Nonancourt. The Brut Millesime Degorgement Tardif represents an elite expression of this philosophy. Sourced from prestigious Grand Cru vineyards across the Cote des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, this late-disgorged vintage Champagne is typically a balanced blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. While standard vintage Champagnes spend several years on the lees, the Degorgement Tardif is left to mature in the house's cool chalk cellars in Tours-sur-Marne for over a decade. This extended contact with the yeast autolytically transforms the wine, imbuing it with extraordinary layers of toasted brioche, honeyed nuts, and candied citrus, while preserving a remarkable, youthful vivacity.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1812 by André Michel Pierlot in Tours-sur-Marne, Laurent-Perrier grew into one of Champagne's preeminent family-owned houses under the visionary stewardship of Bernard de Nonancourt. Situated at the junction of the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Blancs, the domaine draws from prestigious Grand Cru villages rooted in deep, moisture-regulating Belemnite chalk and limestone subsoils. Pioneering the systematic use of stainless-steel temperature-controlled fermentation during the late 1970s, Laurent-Perrier forged a signature vinous architecture anchored by Chardonnay dominance, absolute reductive clarity, crystalline freshness, and pristine tension without oxidative masking. Led cellar-side by Chef de Cave Olivier Vigneron under the custodianship of the de Nonancourt family, the estate's benchmark cuvées include its emblematic Cuvée Rosé macerated from 100% Pinot Noir and the prestigious Grand Siècle, a benchmark multi-vintage prestige assemblage blending three complementary declared vintage declarations to reconstruct the ideal year.
