“Laurent-Perrier has always preferred to keep its prestige cuvée as a non-vintage blend. With eight years of aging after bottling and a significant amount of reserve wines in the blend, this is a mature wine with an energetic, toasty character. To top it all off, the superb grapes used in this blend come exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards. It’s ready to drink. ” (Wine Enthusiast 2018)

Wine rated (2019 guide) 18/20 (Reference wine)

Rated estate (2023 guide): 5*Stars (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the wine:

Roundness, charming fruitiness, floral notes, and a very soft yet very lingering finish. A velvety finish of absolute refinement.

About the estate:

Always delicate and refined, the signature style of Laurent-Perrier champagnes is now characterized by remarkable maturity and precision in the wines. All the cuvées—starting with La Cuvée, one of the house’s finest bruts—offer the highest levels of elegance and complexity. The entire range is of superb quality and continues to improve. As the first house to develop a rosé champagne very early on—a pioneering ultra-brut—Laurent-Perrier remains a benchmark in this category. Cleverly, the famous and brilliant Grand-Siècle cuvée is now identified through numbered editions that reveal the traditional three vintages comprising the blend. Alexandra and Stéphanie de Nonancourt, along with Michel Fauconnet, the distinguished cellar master, passionately continue this masterful work.

Wine noted (guide 2019) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Rated estate (2019 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the wine:

The house’s most prestigious cuvée, crafted as a masterpiece of blending. It blends Chardonnay (about 55%) and Pinot Noir, drawing from great terroirs (11 grands crus, such as Bouzy, Ambonnay, and Mailly for the reds; Avize, Cramant, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for the whites) and vintages (always three vintages). After aging for at least seven years, this cuvée boasts a lively color with fine bubbles; it offers an open nose of fruit, smoke, and toasted almond, as well as a taut, long finish with notes of lemon and sea salt. A champagne that deserves careful tasting. It pairs equally well as an aperitif or with a meal.

About the estate:

This famous house, founded in 1812 by the cooper André-Michel Pierlot, combines the surnames of Mathilde Perrier and her husband Eugène Laurent, the cellar master who took over the business. It experienced growth until just after World War I, followed by a period of stagnation after the death of the widow Laurent-Perrier in 1925, who left no heir. Marie-Louise de Nonancourt, née Lanson, purchased the house in 1939; her son Bernard (1920–2010) restored its former glory and turned it into a major group owning renowned brands such as Salon and Delamotte, and celebrated for its special cuvées.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Recommended (Recommended)

About the estate:

Founded in 1812 in the village of Tours-sur-Marne, the house enjoyed its heyday under the leadership of Bernard de Nonancourt, a prominent figure in the region who passed away in 2010. He was the founder of the Laurent-Perrier Group, which also includes the champagnes of Castellane, Salon, and Delamotte. Michel Fauconnet, a member of the executive board, serves as cellar master and director of the vineyard, procurement, and production. The house embodies both tradition and modernity: as early as 1981, Laurent-Perrier was the first to create a champagne with no dosage (“Ultra Brut”), and currently offers its highly successful non-dosage blanc de blancs. The “Grand Siècle” cuvée is one of the finest in the region.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

A blend of three vintages, Grand Siècle offers a lovely vinous character and beautiful complexity with notes of dried fruit.

About the estate:

The Laurent-Perrier Group (Delamotte, Salon, De Castellane, Jeanmaire, etc.), the fifth-largest Champagne producer, was the most innovative during the era of its founder, Bernard Nonancourt, who passed away in 2010 and was succeeded by his daughters. The longtime cellar master, Michel Fauconnet, guardian of the “L.-P.” style built around Chardonnay, has stepped down. The estate’s own vineyards account for only 10% of the group’s supply. Aromatic, lively, and partially malolactic-fermented, the range plays a major role in the global success of aperitif Champagne, in both white and rosé.
