Maison Laurent-Perrier
To discover the origins of the Maison Laurent-Perrier we must go back to 1812, the year in which the winery was founded by André and Michel Pierlot. Located in Tours-sur-Marne, in the Champagne-Ardenne, the company's fate was written in 1881, when Eugene Laurent, cellar master of the Pierlots, decided together with his wife Mathilde Emilie Perrier to take over the maison and take over the management, and later changing its name to Laurent-Perrier.
From here, among various vicissitudes, the story leads us to Mary-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt first, and then to her son Bernard, who represents the true soul of the champagnes that can be tasted today. Characterized by the use mainly of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes - with the exception of the Cuvée Rosè obtained exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes - Laurent-Perrier Champagnes rest at least four years before being marketed.
Currently led by Bernard's daughters, Alexandra and Stephanie Lanson de Nonancourt, the Maison today has 150 hectares of vineyards and stands out for a special and unique style, undoubtedly also due to the obsessive search for perfection in all production steps, starting from the rows to get to the bottle. In the vineyard, the approach is minimalist, so we tend to cultivate the plants while respecting the environment, nature and the ecosystem as much as possible. In the cellar, the philosophy followed is no different: by vinifying each individual plot separately, the Laurent-Perrier maison has been processing the grapes in steel and at a controlled temperature since the 1950s, so as to keep the freshness and aromatic complexity of the fruit intact and unaltered. . Finally, during the sparkling wine production phase, each step is controlled with method and rigor, using the most modern oenological technologies, always used without ever outclassing the most ancient territorial traditions.
Laurent-Perrier gives us timeless bubbles in all his releases, among the most prestigious that France is currently capable of offering.
