Laurent-Perrier

History of Laurent-Perrier

Maison Laurent-Perrier, founded in 1812 by Maurice Krelsy in Tours-sur-Marne, is one of the great champagne houses. In 1939, it was bought by Bernard de Nonancourt, a champagne innovator who brought with him his vision and values. Nonancourt and Stéphanie have emphasised the importance of innovation, notably with the creation of the limited edition Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut.

The uniqueness of Laurent-Perrier champagnes

Laurent-Perrier champagnes, such as Laurent-Perrier Brut, are distinguished by their freshness, elegance and finesse. The house favours the Chardonnay grape variety, while also offering Brut Blanc and Brut Nature Blanc. Rosé champagne, such as Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé, is renowned for its salmon colour and red fruit aromas. This cuvée is produced by maceration, offering incomparable complexity and freshness.
