The House and Its Champagnes

Welcome to Laurent-Perrier. View of the main L-P building through the front gates.

Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier has been avant-garde in creating unique and elegant champagnes for nearly two hundred years. The house was acquired by the Nonancourt family in 1939 and for over 65 years Bernard de Nonancourt has dedicated his life to innovating and perfecting Laurent-Perrier Champagne. As a result, Laurent-Perrier is one of the world’s most esteemed champagne brands, and also the largest family-owned brand.

Under Bernard de Nonancourt’s leadership, Laurent-Perrier has achieved many firsts, including:

In 1958, the House was the first to introduce a multi-vintage prestige cuvée: Grand Siècle
In 1980, L-P was the first to reintroduce the concept of brut nature (no added dosage) champagne: Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut

Other rarities include a multi-vintage Cuvée Rosé Brut, made using skin contact (also known as the saignée method), Kosher Brut and Kosher Rosé.

Now more than ever, the Nonancourt family values guide the Laurent-Perrier team, currently under the direction of Yves Dumont. An independent spirit, which has always been the driving force behind the creative winemaking, has resulted in a unique and highly successful range of champagnes. They are produced by a team led by Michel Fauconnet, chef de cave, and his predecessor Alain Terrier, who is recognized as one of the greatest winemakers in Champagne. The wines are unique not only because of the philosophy that has inspired them, but also for their style, flavor, and consistency in quality, as one cuvée succeeds another.

In keeping with the family’s belief that life is meant to be enjoyed, Laurent-Perrier supports l'art de vivre. Laurent-Perrier is an official champagne partner of Relais et Châteaux and is served at the Academy Awards following the Oscars in Los Angeles.
