The refinement and vivacity of a vintage Brut champagne
The property
Founded in 1812, the Laurent-Perrier Champagne House entered its golden age from 1948, thanks to the dynamism of Bernard de Nonancourt. Under the impetus of this visionary businessman, the house stands out by creating cuvées reflecting its values of excellence and innovation.
Since its origins, the house has built its identity around chardonnay. With the freshness and finesse it brings to the blend, this grape variety signs the style of this Champagne reference.
The Laurent-Perrier House expresses its avant-gardism through, notably, Grand Siècle and its multi-vintage blends, its Ultra Brut with a "zero dosage" style, or its Cuvée Rosé, the first rosé champagne of this category by maceration. These so-called "breakthrough" cuvées, each creation of which is an event, mark a new page in the history of the Laurent Perrier House and its quest for excellence that has earned it international renown.
The values dear to Bernard de Nonancourt find their quintessence in the Laurent-Perrier cuvées, unanimously recognized by connoisseurs.
The vineyard
Located in the picturesque village of Tours-sur-Marne, the Laurent-Perrier Champagne House benefits from a very qualitative vineyard of its own, supplemented by long-term supplies concluded with winegrowers on the greatest terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.
The wine
The Laurent-Perrier House has the particularity of vintage one year out of two only when the rest of Champagne vintages on average more than three years out of four. This choice of excellence is partly at the origin of the well-established international reputation of this great Champagne House.
Made from an exceptional year and aged for 7 years, this 2015 Brut Millésimé from Laurent-Perrier is made exclusively from chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and pinot noir from the Montagne de Reims.
The vintage
A year marked by strong climatic instability, 2015 began with a mild and rainy winter preceding a contrasting spring. The stormy summer conditions gave way to a September whose coolness ensured the progressive and optimal maturation of the berries.
Blend
This 2015 vintage champagne is the result of a blend of chardonnay (50%) from the Côte des Blancs (Chouilly, Oger, Cramant, Oiry) and pinot noir (50%) from the Montagne de Reims (Tours-sur-Marne, Aÿ, Tauxières, Verzenay, Ambonnay).
