✨ Technical Specifications
Laurent-Perrier's iconic Cuvée Rosé, first launched in 1968 under the visionary leadership of Bernard de Nonancourt, revolutionized the Champagne world by using the traditional saignée method rather than blending. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from prestigious Grand Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims, this Champagne undergoes a meticulous 48 to 72-hour maceration to extract its signature salmon-pink hue and intense red berry aromas. The 'Butterfly Robe' edition features a stunning, reusable metal cage adorned with butterflies, symbolizing the beauty of nature, metamorphosis, and the house's commitment to environmental preservation in the vineyards. It is aged for a minimum of five years on the lees before release, resulting in a wine of extraordinary freshness and structure.
🍾 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.
