✨ Technical Specifications
Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is one of Champagne's most storied family-run houses, celebrated for pioneering a style defined by freshness, elegance, and purity. The house's Millésimé (Vintage) is a rare and highly selective bottling, crafted only in exceptional years when nature grants a perfect balance of sugar and acidity. While many Champagne houses emphasize Pinot Noir in their vintage blends, Laurent-Perrier elevates Chardonnay—sourced from prestigious Grand Crus in the Côte des Blancs—to play an equal or dominant role alongside Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims. Under the historical guidance of Bernard de Nonancourt, who revitalized the house post-WWII, Laurent-Perrier perfected long-term lees aging in their deep, chalk cellars in Tours-sur-Marne. This extended maturation imparts complex notes of toasted brioche, white flowers, and preserved citrus, while retaining the vibrant mineral spine that defines the house's terroir-driven philosophy.
