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.
Laurent-Perrier choose to make vintages very rarely, only selecting the very best years. This makes their Brut Millésimé a rare and outstanding champagne that clearly expresses the specific character of each vintage in the Laurent-Perrier style. It is bottled and aged in Laurent-Perrier's cellars for almost eight years before being disgorged prior to release. This is the 32nd vintage in the houses iconic 'Crest Bottle'.
Weather: The 2018 year started cold particularly February with some snowfall. By April the sunshine emerged leading to flowering at the end of May, some 10 days ahead of the 10 year average. Summer was hot and mostly dry with harvest starting on 20th August and lasted some 4 weeks. The lower night time temperatures during summer helped preserve the grapes natural acidity. In general all grapes performed well, with lots of forward fruit and most champagne will have ok acidity, not racy, not soft. Becoming a new benchmark for the Champagne region in terms of the heat, drought and sunshine levels!

Tasting Note: Very fine bead. Savoury nose – almost like white burgundy – lightly smoky. Quite explosive on the palate! Citrus peel and even a little grapefruit peel. Olivier Vigneron thinks that, like 2004, it is not especially expressive but will last forever. Very introvert currently with great tension. Even a little chewy on the end. It really opened out in the glass – mellowed! – however. - Tasted by Jancis Robinson MW
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.

“Silky, aromatic and impeccable in its balance, the 2018 Millésimé is a gorgeous, elegant wine. Dried pear, ginger, spice and crushed flowers caress the palate. Silky tannins frame the delicate, polished finish.”
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.
