Laurent-Perrier
Laurent-Perrier is an independent family house based in Tours-sur-Marne in the Vallée de la Marne. Founded in 1812, the maison is today led by Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt. The house belongs to the great champagne names with international presence and a broadly diversified portfolio.
History
Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 and thus belongs to the more traditional houses of Champagne. In recent years, the house has recorded a series of awards and partnerships: in 2025, Laurent-Perrier received five stars from Bettane & Desseauve in the 2026 wine guide, while the prestige cuvée Grand Siècle Iteration N°26 was rated 100 out of 100 points by the same critics.
The house is actively represented in the international gastronomy and cultural scene. In 2025, Laurent-Perrier was a partner of the Alinea Group's 20th anniversary tour in Chicago and official champagne of the TRIBUTE TO BAMBI ceremony in Munich. In January 2026, Grand Siècle Iteration N°27 was released, and the house announced a partnership with the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET). In the same month, an exclusive masterclass took place at the Institute of Masters of Wine in Rust, Austria.
In May 2026, Laurent-Perrier released the Brut Millésimé 2018, the house's 32nd vintage in the characteristic shield bottle. At the same time, the house was exclusive champagne partner of Taste of Paris 2026 (May 21-24) and hosted a Laurent-Perrier x Imperial Caviar event in Berlin on May 27. In 2025, the house also launched a limited Cuvée Rosé edition called "Bubbles" with metal jacket.
Vinification
Laurent-Perrier follows a philosophy that places the art of blending at the center. The house is convinced that the assemblage of multiple vintages can achieve greater perfection than a single vintage – an attitude expressed in the prestige cuvée Grand Siècle. Innovation and family values shape the house's work. The dosage ranges between 0 and 10 g/l depending on the cuvée, from Brut Nature to classic Brut variants.
The Cuvées in Detail
La Cuvée Brut
Laurent-Perrier's flagship cuvée is Chardonnay-dominated with 55 percent and is complemented by Pinot Noir and Meunier. Fine bubbles, citrusy and clear – the definition of a reliable all-rounder. Citrus notes, white peach, and a light brioche nuance make La Cuvée a versatile companion.

A rosé de macération from 100 percent Pinot Noir, not assembled. The grapes come from the best Pinot Noir crus, including Tours-sur-Marne. Fresh acidity, red fruit aromas, and a versatile structure characterize this champagne.

Grand Siècle
Laurent-Perrier's prestige cuvée is based on the conviction that the assemblage of different vintages can achieve greater perfection than a single vintage. Iteration N°26 received 100 out of 100 points from Bettane & Desseauve, Iteration N°27 was released in January 2026. The house presented Vincent van Gogh's self-portrait as a symbol for Grand Siècle.
