Brut Millésimé Laurent-Perrier

The Maison Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 by André Michel Pierlot, later to become Vve Laurent-Perrier when his descendant Mathilde Emilie Perrier, the widow of Eugène Laurent, decided to combine the two names in an expansive phase of the activity. Eugénie Hortense Laurent, his daughter, inherited the Maison in 1925 and then sold it to Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939, but it was with Bernard de Nonancourt after World War II that the company established itself in the world, greatly increasing its market share. It’s enough to think that in 1950 Laurent-Perrier was the first in the Champagne region to equip its cellars with large steel tanks at controlled temperature, today an indispensable must. The vineyards that stretch between Bouzy, Ambonnay and Tours-sur-Marne, are cultivated according to tradition and the grapes are vinified separately to enhance the typical characteristics of the terroir. Today Laurent-Perrier is a symbol of refinement, tradition and elegance, as evidenced by the design of the same bottles that recall those in blown glass from the 17th century.

Brut Millésimé is a Champagne with a complex and inimitable aroma, characterized by long aging in bottles on yeasts for at least 84 months. It’s a cuvée in equal parts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, respectively from the best vineyards of the Cote des Blancs, and Montagne de Reims. The grapes are vinified separately, selecting the final cuvée with the wines of the vintage, without adding those of previous ones, obtaining a champagne of great excellence.
