Tasting Notes & Experience

A pale gold hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose reveals delicate aromas of fresh citrus and white flowers, unfolding into notes of vine peach and white fruit. On the palate, it achieves perfect harmony — crisp and lively yet rounded — with a beautifully lingering finish of subtle fruit and gentle minerality. Elegant, angular, and classic in every sense.

Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier has long been synonymous with innovation and elegance. Guided by the de Nonancourt family, the house pioneered modern winemaking practices, including temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation and a focus on Chardonnay for freshness and finesse. The result is a Champagne of exceptional purity and clarity — a reflection of both terroir and tradition.

Special Features

La Cuvée is crafted exclusively from the first press, ensuring only the purest juice forms its base. With a minimum of four years of cellar ageing, it captures the ideal balance of freshness and complexity. The high proportion of Chardonnay — rare among non-vintage champagnes — imparts finesse and length, creating an unmistakably Laurent-Perrier signature style.
