NV Laurent Perrier "La Cuvée" Brut, Champagne 187ml
ABOUT THIS WINE
The wine comes from the purest grape juice and it alone allows Laurent-Perrier to craft 'La Cuvée', a champagne of great finesse and a beautiful freshness obtained after a long aging process in cellar.
The blend typically consists of over 50% Chardonnay, 30–35% Pinot Noir, and 10–15% Meunier, sourced from more than 100 distinct Crus. Handpicked grapes are vinified vineyard-by-vineyard in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks without the use of oak to preserve purity. All base wines undergo complete malolactic fermentation to soften the wine's natural acidity, enhance texture, and add creamy richness. The cellar masters incorporate 15% to 30% reserve wines from multiple prior vintages to preserve the house's signature style and ensure vintage-to-vintage consistency. The blended wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and is aged on its yeast lees for a minimum of four years in their underground cellars. The wine is finished with a light dosage of 8 to 9 grams of sugar per liter, which classifies it as a Brut and preserves its natural freshness.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
For over 200 years, Champagne Laurent-Perrier has been exclusively focused on crafting fresh and elegant champagne. Nestled in the Grand Cru village of Tours-sur-Marne, the House is family- and female-run, fiercely independent, and continues to set the precedent for fine champagne around the world.
The House was founded in 1812 by a champagne merchant and eventually passed down to his cellar master, Eugene Laurent, and his wife, Mathilde-Émilie Perrier. In 1887, Eugene died in an accident in the cellars and instead of selling the House that she inherited, Mathilde-Émilie decided to take the reins, and the House flourished under her leadership. This was unexpected and unusual at that time for a woman to fully manage a House.
When Mathilde-Émilie passed away in 1925, she left the house to her daughter, Eugenie, who ran Laurent-Perrier until 1939 when she decided to sell it to another woman, Marie Louise Lanson de Nonancourt. Her son, Bernard, led the House for over half a century. Today, his daughters, Stephanie and Alexandra, are co-CEOs, and his granddaughter, Lucie, works on Laurent-Perrier’s Grand Siècle team reporting to their chef de caves.
Under the historic domaine and winery in the heart of France’s renowned Champagne region, stretch over 11 kilometers of chalk cellars. Every bottle of Laurent-Perrier spends years in these cellars developing their complex flavors and fine bubbles.
