✨ Technical Specifications
Established in 1812, Laurent-Perrier rose to global prominence under the visionary leadership of Bernard de Nonancourt, who after World War II defined the house's signature style of freshness, elegance, and purity. The 'La Cuvée' Brut NV is the quintessential expression of this philosophy. Unusually for a house's flagship non-vintage blend, Chardonnay is the dominant grape, making up over 50% of the blend, complemented by Pinot Noir and Meunier sourced from more than 100 select crus. This high proportion of Chardonnay, combined with a significant addition of reserve wines and a minimum of four years of cellar aging on the lees, imparts a delicate complexity, fine bead, and remarkable consistency that honors the legacy of the Marne valley.
🍾 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.
