Laurent Perrier La Cuvee Brut NV 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 ageing process in our cellars. Laurent‑Perrier’s style and personality are defined by its very high proportion of Chardonnay.
A pale gold colour. Fine bubbles feed a persistent mousse. A delicate nose with hints of fresh citrus and white flowers. The wine’s complexity is expressed in successive notes such as those of vine peach and white fruit. A perfect balance b etween freshness and delicacy with fruity flavours very present on the finish.
Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 by André Michel but it was his cellar master Eugene Laurent, who ran it with his wife, Mathilde Emilie Perrier. After Eugene's death in 1887, Mathilde combined the 2 names and Laurent-Perrier was born. Post First World War I, Laurent-Perrier was very sucessful producing around 50,000 cases of Champagne unfortunatley when war broke out the business was hit hard. Mathilde hired Alexander Fletcher Keith Mackenzie to introduce and market Laurent-Perrier in the UK. In 1925 Mathilde died leaving the company to her daughter Eugenie. With another war looking likely Eugenie sold the company in 1939 to Mary-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt. In 1948 it was Mary-Louise's son Bernard who took over the reigns becoming Laurent-Perrier's Chairman and Chief Executive, he remained and important part of the buiness until his death in 2010.
