Laurent Perrier
Champagne, France
Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is recognised as one of the finest family-owned Champagne houses. Now more than ever, the Nonancourt family’s values guide the Laurent-Perrier team. An independent spirit has always been the driving force behind the creative winemaking, which has led to a unique and highly successful range of champagnes. They are produced by a team led by Michel Fauconnet, chef de cave, and his predecessor Alain Terrier, who is recognised as one of the greatest winemakers in Champagne. Domaine Laurent- Perrier (the Estate) was established in the Tours-sur-Marne. This picturesque village is ideally situated at the crossroads of the three main wine growing areas of the Marne département: the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. It is also part of the 17 Champagne villages ranking in the prestigious ‘Grand Cru’ area.”
The Champagne Laurent-Perrier Vision
In 1881, when Cellar Master Eugène Laurent inherited the Alphonse Pierlot Champagne House, he provided it with the essential foundations required to produce great champagnes, namely the houses and land to create a fully-fledged estate. He purchased vines in the very best terroirs of Bouzy, Tours-sur-Marne, and Ambonnay, excavated 800 metres of cellars, and set up a tasting laboratory. Laurent-Perrier shares an epicurean vision with champagne lovers all over the world and has no higher ambition than to demonstrate an elegant Art de Vivre à la Française, charged with emotion.
