Champagne Laurent-Perrier

Laurent-Perrier has always been a pioneer and innovator in Champagne. Through its commitment to Sustainable Viticulture in the Champagne vineyards, and through each of its cuvées, the House has built itself around 4 strong convictions:

Blending rather than vintage

For Laurent-Perrier, blending is the real secret of Champagne quality. That’s why the Grand Siècle cuvée, our most prestigious and demanding, is numbered rather than vintage. It’s a blend of 3 exceptional vintages, to recreate the perfect year.

A unique, distinctive style: purity, elegance, freshness and finesse

Laurent-Perrier champagnes are always marked by exceptional aromatic complexity, fullness and length on the palate.

Chardonnay

With the exception of Cuvée Rosé and Alexandra Rosé, Chardonnay is the majority grape variety in Laurent-Perrier champagnes. It brings the desired freshness, finesse and elegance to blends, making the Laurent-Perrier style so distinct from other Maisons. As with Laurent-Perrier’s Cuvée Brut, renowned for its aromas of fresh citrus and white flowers, with notes of vine peach and white fruit.

The Expression of Pinot Noir

Post-harvest maceration produces unrivalled aromas, revealing all the richness of the finest Pinot Noir vintages. Cuvée Rosé Laurent-Perrier is the perfect illustration.

Cuvée Rosé, selected from the best*.

Cuvée Rosé was launched in 1968, born of the boldness and unique expertise of the Laurent-Perrier House. Cuvée Rosé is recognized for its consistency and high quality, with a focus on perfection at every stage of production.

It is characterized by its aromas of fresh red fruit, great intensity and freshness.

*In the finest hotels and restaurants.

Ultra Brut, champagne in its purest form

A forerunner in the Brut Nature category, Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut* is a wine with no added sugar, expressing champagne in its purest form, originally named “Grand Vin sans sucre”. Launched in 1981, this innovation is a true illustration of the House’s savoir-faire.

Grand Siècle, recreating the perfect year

For Champagne Prestige cuvées, the vintage is generally considered synonymous with excellence. Laurent-Perrier, on the other hand, is convinced that the art of blending can (re)create what nature will never give us: the perfect year.

The expression of the perfect year is that of a great Champagne wine that has developed a deep intensity and aromatic complexity, while managing to preserve its freshness and acidity over time. This was the idea behind the 1959 cuvée de Prestige Grand Siècle. To create this wine, Laurent-Perrier relies on the characteristics of the great vintage years of Champagne: freshness, structure and finesse.

The Grand Siècle blend is based on 3 immutable principles:

– Blend of a selection of 3 exceptional years chosen for their complementarity.
– A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, selected from 11 of Champagne’s 17 Grands Crus.
– Blend aged in cellars for over 10 years.
