What connoisseur of Champagnes doesn't know Maison Laurent-Perrier, whose sumptuous cuvées possess an almost refreshing taste of history? A veritable benchmark within the circle of great Champagne houses, Maison Laurent-Perrier has always demonstrated an innovative spirit, displaying a very distinctive style of finesse and elegance for two centuries now.
It was towards the end of the First Empire, in 1812, that André-Michel Pierlot, a former cooper and bottler from Chigny-les-Roses, settled in Tours-sur-Marne as a wine merchant for Champagne. Tours-sur-Marne is a picturesque village located at the crossroads of the Marne's three main wine-growing regions: Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des blancs, and is one of only 17 communes to be classified as Grand Cru. In particular, he acquired two plots of land, "Les Plaisances" and "La Tour Glorieux", on which he built his own house.
His son Alphonse succeeded him, but as the latter had no children, it was his cellar master Eugène Laurent who became the owner in 1881. It was he who endowed this small business of Champagne with several annexes in Tours-sur-Marne and pieces of vines in the region's best crus: Bouzy, Tours-sur-Marne and Ambonnay, all classified as Grand Cru.

This wine comes from the purest grape juice, which forms the basis for the production of "La Cuvée" by Laurent-Perrier, a Champagne of great finesse and freshness resulting from long cellar aging.
This is a blend mainly composed of Chardonnay, at over 50%, followed by 35% Pinot Noir, and completed by Meunier, representing 15% of the blend. Around 15% to 30% of this wine comes from Réserve wines, which benefit from ideal cellar aging, up to around 4 years.
"La Cuvée" is a complex blend of over 100 different Crus.
This Champagne has a pale gold color, with very fine bubbles that feed a persistent cordon de mousse.
On the nose, we discover delicate aromas of fresh citrus and white flowers.
The wine's complexity gradually expresses itself, offering notes of vine peach and white fruit. On the palate, the perfect balance between freshness and finesse blends with fruity flavors that are very present at the end of tasting.
To serve, an ideal temperature is between 8°C and 10°C.
