The House of Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 by André Michel Pierlot and took the name Laurent-Perrier when Mathilde Emilie Perrier, the widow of Eugène Laurent, combined the two families’ names. The house was sold to Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939, and her son Bernard de Nonancourt, former member of the French Resistance, transformed the small Champagne House into a global brand.
Laurent-Perrier is now overseen by his two daughters, Alexandra Pereyre de Nonancourt and Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt. Their efforts are focused on maintaining the quality standards set by Bernard and on preserving the independence of the House. They are aided in this mission by Cellar Master and Production Manager Michel Fauconnet, who has been with Laurent- Perrier for forty years.
100% Pinot Noir and aged five years, the Cuvée Rosé has a lively nose, vibrant fruit core, and a fine line of acidity. The La Cuvée is aged four years and is at least 50% Chardonnay paired with 30-35% Pinot Noir and 10-15% Meunier depending on the vintage. It is a complex Champagne with a delicate nose and very present finish.
