Laurent-Perrier is recognized, throughout the world, as one of the finest of champagne Houses. Since its creation, it remains totally independent and family-owned. The estate in Tours-sur-Marne - a small village in the heart of the Champagne region of France - was founded in 1812 by Alphonse Pierlot, who was the son of a cooper.
Laurent-Perrier's brand name comes from his widow, Mathilde-Emilie Perrier. In 1939, the House of Laurent-Perrier was acquired by Marie-Louise de Nonancourt, mother of our current owner Bernard de Nonancourt. Under his leadership, the brand moved from 98th to 3rd place in terms of value. This success is the result of the combined efforts of a family and a dedicated team. All share the same values: respect for nature and wine, dedication to quality and strong relationship with the men and women associated with the company.
An independent spirit has always been the driving force behind the creative wine-making. The wines are unique not only because of the philosophy behind them - protection of the environment in all walks of our business activities - but also for their style: finesse, fraîcheur and elegance. The result is a range of distinctive 'vins de plaisir' made to be enjoyed by discerning champagne lovers. Bernard de Nonancourt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Champagne, summarises the key to Laurent-Perrier's success: "There are two key factors for success. Put simply it is: quality of the people and quality of the product."
