Laurent-Perrier – Timeless Elegance & Crystal-Clear Freshness
A visionary Champagne House where Chardonnay-driven precision meets luminous freshness and refined balance.
Two Centuries of Elegance and Innovation
Founded in 1812 in Tours-sur-Marne, at the heart of Champagne, Laurent-Perrier has embodied a singular vision for more than two centuries — one of elegance, precision, and purity. Owned by the Nonancourt family since 1939, the House owes its modern identity to Bernard de Nonancourt, a pivotal figure of the post-war era. He elevated Chardonnay to the heart of the blends, making freshness and finesse the cornerstones of the House style. Today, Laurent-Perrier remains one of the last great independent family-owned Champagne Houses, a symbol of the perfect balance between tradition and innovation.
Terroir & Grape Varieties
Situated in Tours-sur-Marne, between the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne, Laurent-Perrier draws from some of Champagne’s finest crus:
- Montagne de Reims — structured, expressive Pinot Noir
- Côte des Blancs — pure, crystalline Chardonnay
- Vallée de la Marne — supple, fruity Meunier
The three emblematic grape varieties come together in blends of exceptional precision:
- Chardonnay (majority): finesse and luminosity
- Pinot Noir: structure and complexity
- Pinot Meunier: roundness and generosity
Reserve wines, stored in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, guarantee the consistency and signature purity of the Laurent-Perrier style.
