Laurent-Perrier : Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature

A fine gourmet Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Champagne by Laurent-Perrier

The producer

Founded in 1812, the Laurent-Perrier Champagne House reached its golden age in 1948, thanks to Bernard de Nonancourt’s dynamism. Under the leadership of this visionary businessman, the house stood out by producing vintages that reflected its values of excellence and innovation.

Since its very beginnings, the house has built its identity around Chardonnay. Through the freshness and finesse that it brings to the blend, this grape variety is the hallmark of this Champagne reference.

Laurent-Perrier's avant-garde approach is reflected in Grand Siècle and its multi-vintage blends, its Ultra Brut with a "zero dosage" style and also its Cuvée Rosé, the first rosé champagne in this category. These original "breakthrough" cuvées, each creation being subject to an event, mark a new page in the history of Laurent Perrier and its quest for excellence, for which it is internationally renowned.

The quintessence of Bernard de Nonancourt’s cherished values are in the Laurent-Perrier cuvées, unanimously recognised by connoisseurs.

The vineyard

Located in the picturesque village of Tours-sur-Marnes, the Laurent-Perrier House has its own high-quality vineyards, supplemented by long-term contracts with winegrowers in the best terroirs of the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs.

The wine

Laurent-Perrier has been a forerunner of the Brut Nature category since 1981. After more than 15 years of research and work on selecting the best Chardonnays in the Champagne region, Laurent-Perrier unveils the Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature. The result of the perfect mastery of the vinification and ageing, in stainless steel vats, of Chardonnay, Laurent-Perrier Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is a blended champagne made from the best Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims vintages. A pure expression of the terroir, this non-dosage champagne has no added sugar. 40% reserve wines are added to the blend, adding to its finesse and complexity. Laurent-Perrier Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is aged for 5 years in cellars.
