A Legacy of Innovation and Finesse
Laurent-Perrier has long been at the forefront of Champagne innovation. Not only was it one of the first Houses to incorporate a significant proportion of Chardonnay—a less common grape in the region—into its emblematic Brut L-P, but it also pioneered other noteworthy cuvées. Chief among them are Cuvée Rosé Brut, distinguished by its alluring pink hue and vibrant red berry aromatics, and Ultra-Brut, a naturally dry Champagne with no added sugar that requires exceptionally ripe grapes of impeccable quality.
Laurent-Perrier’s unwavering dedication to excellence is showcased through its meticulous selection of grapes from prestigious areas such as the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. This approach is evident in vintages like the Brut Millésimé 1995, which combines exceptional wines from top plots, and the illustrious Cuvée Grand Siècle—an exceptional blend drawn from the very best harvest years. The House also produces the exclusive Grand Siècle “Alexandra” Rosé, crafted in rare vintages using carefully hand-selected grapes that enhance its delicate, complex profile.
Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé
Widely regarded as an icon among rosé Champagnes, Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé is crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir using the saignée (maceration) method, which imparts its captivating salmon-pink colour and intense red fruit fragrances. First launched in 1968, it was considered revolutionary in its day for showcasing rosé Champagne as a sophisticated and gastronomic choice. On the palate, expect lively notes of strawberry, raspberry, and blackcurrant, underscored by a subtle minerality and a crisp finish. The distinctive bottle design, inspired by King Henri IV, adds an extra layer of charm to this much-loved rosé.

Representing the pinnacle of Laurent-Perrier’s artistry, Grand Siècle is a prestige multi-vintage blend that aims to surpass the concept of a single “perfect” vintage. By carefully selecting and harmonising wines from outstanding harvest years, the House achieves remarkable depth, complexity, and balance. Crafted primarily from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from the top Grand Cru vineyards, Grand Siècle offers a luxurious, layered palate framed by notes of brioche, hazelnuts, and orchard fruit. Aged extensively in Laurent-Perrier’s cellars, this Champagne achieves a silky texture and a profoundly long finish. Its refined elegance makes it a benchmark for connoisseurs seeking the very best the region has to offer.
Laurent-Perrier’s creativity, combined with a passion for premium vineyard sourcing and precision winemaking, firmly establishes its place among Champagne’s most renowned producers. Whether sipping the iconic Cuvée Rosé, savouring the exceptional Grand Siècle, or exploring its other distinctive cuvées, one experiences a House that continuously refines and reimagines the art of Champagne.
