✨ Technical Specifications
Laurent-Perrier Héritage is a profound testament to the art of assemblage pioneered by the historic house founded in 1812. Championed by the legendary Bernard de Nonancourt, who defined the house's signature style of freshness and elegance, this multi-vintage cuvée is a curated blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from the finest Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. By selecting and blending reserve wines from exceptional years, Laurent-Perrier crafts a complex, low-dosage Champagne that honors their ancestral savoir-faire. The wine undergoes extended lees aging in the chalk cellars of Tours-sur-Marne, resulting in a sparkling wine of remarkable purity, tension, and depth, reflecting the chalky soils of its prestigious origins.
🍾 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.
