✨ 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
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.
