Laurent-Perrier Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature Champagne NV
£77.00
“Exceptional yeasty nose, really doubles-down on the classic champagne characteristic. Genuinely complex with not just bread, toast and mushroom but salinity and minerality as well. The fruit is tight and tart but not underripe, with a bone-dry but not austere finish. Long persistence that befits a champagne at this level.”
Laurent-Perrier was established in Tours-sur-Marne in 1812 and was the first family-owned independent Champagne House. The name “Laurent-Perrier” was created by Mathilde Emilie Perrier, widow of Eugène Laurent, who combined the two family names after the House was expanded. Her daughter inherited the House in 1925 and sold it in 1939 to Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt. The latter, widow and mother of four children, acquired the Domaine Laurent-Perrier and ran the business while two of her sons, Maurice and Bernard, joined the French Resistance.
The House was built around 4 strong convictions: blending, a unique style, the Chardonnay grape variety and innovation.
