Founded in 1812, Champagne Laurent-Perrier remained a modest producer until Bernard de Nonancourt transformed it into one of the world's most celebrated Champagne Houses. A towering figure in 20th-century Champagne, he became CEO in 1948 after a three-year apprenticeship at Delamotte and Lanson. Over his remarkable 62-year tenure, production expanded from 80,000 to more than eight million bottles.
De Nonancourt was a visionary innovator: Laurent-Perrier was the first House to adopt stainless-steel vats, to create a zero-dosage champagne (Ultra Brut), and to pioneer a multi-vintage prestige cuvée (Grand Siècle). Following his passing in 2010, the House has remained family-led under his daughters, Alexandra Pereyre and Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt, who appointed Stéphane Dalyac as CEO in 2014. In 2019, Alexandra's eldest daughter, Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt, joined the business to represent Grand Siècle around the world.
Today, Laurent-Perrier stands among Champagne's largest producers and is best known for its iconic Cuvée Rosé — the most recognised rosé champagne in the world. The House's distinctive style is defined by freshness, purity, and precision, with a light reductive twist and elegant character its wines age with exceptional grace.
From the experts of rosé champagne, Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rosé is a rare and cherished wine resulting from a rigorous selection of the very best plots in the region. This unique prestige cuvée rosé is only created in years when the Grand Cru grapes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reach maturity at the same time. The pioneering soak-on-the-skins maceration process applied to Cuvée Rosé is utilised again, with 20% Chardonnay being added during the Pinot Noir maceration for Alexandra Rosé. To do full justice to its rarity, Alexandra Rosé is presented in a majestically refined bottle with a label decorated in powdered gold.
Laurent-Perrier Alexandra Rosé 2004 marks the seventh vintage release since the launch of Alexandra Rosé 1982 in 1987 and is the first vintage in which magnums have been produced.
Vintages to date are 1982, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1997, 1998, 2004, 2006, 2007 and now 2012 the 10th release.
Weather: The 2004 vintage saw an initial winter of mild temperatures with intermittent storms and hail. The spring and summer months were hot and sunny and the sugar levels late in September produced good quality fruits, especially for the Pinot Noir grapes. A huge harvest in general for the region. Overall many experts believe that 2004 is one of the greatest vintages of the last two decades.

Tasting Note: On the nose hints of strawberries and redcurrants combine with candied fruits. A stunning palate dominated by Pinot Noir elegance, this is well refined with superb balance. More red fruits and a delicate but full-bodied finish of strawberries and blackcurrants. From magnum, and given time to mature, this will be outstanding.
Although originally founded in 1812, the name Champagne Laurent-Perrier was not conceived until 1964. After changing hands through several deaths and marriages, it was Bernard de Nonancourt who initiated Laurent-Perrier's rise to world fame. One of Champagne's most important figures in the 20th century, he officially took over in 1948 after a three-year apprenticeship at the Houses of Delamotte and Lanson. In his 62-year tenure, production grew from just 80,000 bottles annually to over eight million. Under de Nonancourt, Laurent-Perrier were the first House to use stainless-steel vats and the first House to create both a zero dosage champagne (Ultra Brut) and a non-vintage prestige cuvée (Grand Siècle).
Sadly, de Nonancourt passed away in 2010 and Laurent-Perrier is now managed by his two daughters, Alexandra and Stéphanie. Since 2020 Alexandra's daughter, Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt has taken on the global role of Brand Ambassador for Grand Siècle. The production style is elegant, Chardonnay-driven, pure and fruit-forward and current Cellar Master Michel Fauconnet believes strictly in minimising oxidation. Indeed, Laurent-Perrier are one of the most reductive in style, serving to enhance their fruity expression and smoky complexity. Now one of the region's largest producers, they are perhaps best known for Cuvée Rosé, the most recognised rosé champagne on the planet.

Chef de Cave History at Champagne Laurent-Perrier:
Olivier Vigneron 2025 - Current | He hails from a farming family in the Marne region, but didn’t discover the world of winemaking until he was a student, when he took part in a grape harvest. He specialised the sector with a degree in biochemistry from the University of Reims and earned a National Diploma in Oenology. He then joined the Despagne vineyard in Bordeaux, where he gained experience in winemaking and team management. In 2000, he met Alain Terrier, then cellar master at Laurent-Perrier, who hired him as assistant at De Castellane. Four years later, in 2004, he joined Laurent-Perrier's newly appointed Cellar Master Michel Fauconnet.
Michel Fauconnet 2004 - retired in 2025 | Joined Laurent-Perrier in 1973, became the 3rd Cellar Master of the House, after respectively Edouard Leclerc in 1950 and Alain Terrier in 1983. Michel held all the production positions: cellar worker, supervisor, then Circle Manager. From 2004 he has been Cellar Master and Production Director. Never short of innovation, during his time he oversaw the introduction in 2018 of LP Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature NV and in 2024 LP Heritage Brut NV, a richly textured wine from all reserve wines. Michel Fauconnet also managed the winemaking of Champagne Delamotte, Champagne Salon and Champagne De Castellane. In 2014 he also joined the Laurent-Perrier Management Board. After more than 50 years at the Maison, Michel Fauconnet has officially retired, handing over the reins to his long-standing assistant Olivier Vigneron. The champagnes made during Michel's time as Cellar Master stand testament to his winemaking genius, producing wines without any oxidation and with textural richness and fruit intensity. We will enjoy drinking his champagnes for at least another decade!
Alain Terrier - 1983 - 2004 | Perfected the art of blending, faithful to the quest for excellence. He selects grapes from the best areas of the Champagne vineyards, vinifies each batch separately and monitors the blends with high standards. This plot vinification becomes a signature of the House.
Edouard Leclerc 1950 - 1984 | These were early days for Laurent-Perrier and Edouard would have been working very closely with De Nonancourt, one of their great partnerships was Grand Siècle. Bernard observed that nature would never provide the perfect oenological year though the art of assemblage, LP could in fact create it. A blend of three exceptional vintages, Grand Siècle was launched in 1959 as a blend of 1952, 1953 and 1955. Their next great venture was Cuvee Rose, created in 1968, carefully selected Pinot Noir plots are sorted and destemmed before a period of maceration. By the time he retired from his role in 1983 Laurent-Perrier had introduced winemaking technology to enhance all the blends creating fruit forward styles in the lightly reductive style.

Expert Reviews

Antonio Galloni
“Tasted from magnum, the 2004 Grande Cuvée Rosé Alexandra, Laurent-Perrier’s flagship Rosé is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir (on the skins) and 20% Chardonnay vinified together that has only been bottled seven times since 1982. From the very first taste, the 2004 is utterly spectacular. Rich, ample and vertical in feel, the 2004 is dazzling. Dried rose petal, star anise, tobacco, dried flowers, red berry fruit and earthy notes all grace this utterly exquisite Champagne. As good as the 2004 is today – and it is fabulous – it will be even better in another few years’ time. The 2004 has been nothing short of magnificent on both occasions I have tasted it so far. ”

“Elegantly berried with Volney-like refined Pinot note. On the reductive side with stylish toasty-gunpowdery notes. Raspberry and peach, forest floor. Light-weight, vivacious, tense palate. Super sophisticated style of rosé. Youthful still, and especially the magnums should be left for later.”

Roger Voss
“First produced in the 1987 vintage to celebrate the marriage of owner Bernard de Nonancourt's eldest daughter, this bottling is now mature. Ripe, it still retains plenty of red fruits while also allowing the toasty character to show through. It's a rosé that calls for food, a rich and balanced wine that is just perfect to drink now.”

“(80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay): Light, bright orange-pink. High-pitched red berry, orange zest and floral scents are underscored by an intense mineral nuance. Taut, linear and strikingly pure, offering deeply concentrated redcurrant and strawberry scents and hints of allspice, smoky lees and jasmine. Powerful yet lithe rose with superb finishing power, focus and mineral-driven persistence.”
After more than 50 years at the maison, Michel Fauconnet has officially retired, handing over the reins to his long-standing assistant, Olivier Vigneron.
Today we celebrate the release of Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle Iteration No 24 MV in Magnum & Brut Vintage 2007 Magnum as we sit down with Grand Siecle Brand Ambassador David Hesketh MW and Global Director Edouard Cossy.
The Grand Siecle concept is a blend of three great vintages, each bringing certain characteristics from different base years. Only 26 iterations have been produced in 65 years in Laurent Perrier's quest to find 'The perfect vintage champagne'.
A year of change for Laurent-Perrier sees the house welcome a new champagne, Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature NV; a redefined prestige cuvée concept, Grand Siècle Iterations; and finally, a new chef de cave, Dominique Demarville. We caught up in June to find out more.
"Everything is good, my work now is to find which ones are very good." Laurent-Perrier had a successful harvest in 2018, a year which Chef de Cave Michel Fauconnet believes will most certainly produce a stunning vintage champagne and hopefully a strong Alexandra Rosé as well.
The 2017 vintage favoured Chardonnay-dominant Laurent-Perrier. We tasted some rich and generous vins clairs with Chef de Cave Michel Fauconnet and sampled previews of upcoming Vintage 2008 and future Grand Siècle NV.
We met with Cellar Master Michel Fauconnet to visit Laurent-Perrier's renovated cellars and conduct a vertical tasting of Brut Vintage and Grand Siècle (all from magnum) alongside Jancis Robinson MW.
