Champagne Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 but the story is really one of modern renaissance. In 1939 the House was sold to the de Nonancourt family & Madame de Nonancourt passed control of the House to her son Bernard in 1948. Bernard had a modern vision of a champagne style that could be enjoyed any time with a cleaner palate. He brought innovation & a pioneering spirit to the House, so the Laurent-Perrier style of elegance & freshness was born. His legacy lives on today through his daughters.

White Champagne Blend

NV

Champagne terroir covers a roughly 34,000 ha of vineyards, each one bringing together a combination of climate, soil & terrain. The production zone AOC was defined & delimited by a law passed in 1927. The terroir has two major features: northerly latitude & dual climate. The subsoil is mainly limestone with the addition of chalk & marl. This subsoil has good drainage & also adds that mineral taste to certain Champagnes. The moderately steep terrain offers perfect exposure to sunlight with added drainage.

- Eye: White gold colour with delicate and persistent bubbles.


- Nose: A very complex nose which mixes honeysuckle, lemon, clementine and fresh butter aromas, followed by notes of hazelnut and a touch of honey.


- Palate: Silky and mineral with notes of honeysuckle, flaked almonds and clementine.
