✨ Technical Specifications
Laurent-Perrier's 'Harmony' Demi-Sec is a vibrant tribute to the historical sweet style of Champagne that dominated the grand salons of the 19th century. Crafted from a blend where Chardonnay takes center stage (typically over 50%), supported by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from over 55 crus, it undergoes a generous dosage of approximately 40 grams of sugar per liter. Cellared for a minimum of three years on its lees, this demi-sec balances its rich sweetness with the signature Laurent-Perrier freshness and acidity. The house itself, established in 1812, has long championed elegance and purity. 'Harmony' serves as a bridge to that storied past, offering a luscious, round mouthfeel without sacrificing the crisp, mineral-driven backbone characteristic of the region's chalky soils.
🍾 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.
