It is the only Cuvée de Prestige in Champagne based on the blend and not on the vintage.

This Grand Cru village, strategically located at the intersection of three key vineyards, provided fertile ground for his enterprise. Pierlot passed the company to his son, Alphonse, who, lacking heirs, entrusted it to cellar master Eugène Laurent. After Laurent's untimely death in 1887, his widow, Mathilde-Emilie Perrier, took charge, introducing her \"Grand Vin Sans Sucre\" in 1889, catering to evolving tastes. In 1925, Eugénie-Hortense Laurent succeeded her mother but sold the estate in 1939.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarie-Louise de Nonancourt acquired Domaine Laurent-Perrier during World War II. Her son Bernard, who joined the Resistance, returned to lead the company at just 28 after the war, transforming it into an industry innovator over four decades. Under his guidance, Laurent-Perrier became synonymous with freshness, elegance, and purity, exporting its champagnes to over 160 countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company transitioned to a Management Board structure in 1999, spearheaded by Bernard and his daughters, ensuring a legacy of high standards and independence. With Michel Fauconnet as Cellar Master since 2004, the House maintains its commitment to quality, while Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt joined in 2019, representing Grand Siècle and furthering Laurent-Perrier's innovative spirit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilosophy: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIts house style is known for its finesse and elegance, based around an emphasis on the Chardonnay variety in all but the rosé wines. Chardonnay accounts for 55 percent of the blend in La Cuvée (the renamed Brut Non-Vintage). By blending traditional Champagne practices with innovative winemaking techniques, the House produces a range of unique wines, each with its own story. Key to this style is the use of stainless steel vats, allowing for low-temperature fermentation that preserves the wine's freshness and aromatic complexity. The meticulous vinification process involves selecting the best grapes from renowned vineyards, including 17 Grands Crus and 42 Premiers Crus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach batch is vinified separately, enabling the Cellar Master to create harmonious blends that capture the essence of Laurent-Perrier. This dedication to quality is further reflected in their long ageing process, ensuring that each Cuvée is ready to enjoy upon release. Laurent-Perrier is also a pioneer in low-dosage wines, launching the \"Grand Vin Sans Sucre\" in 1889 and later the Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut in 1981. The House continues to lead with innovations like the Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature, reinforcing its commitment to producing champagnes that celebrate the balance between tradition and modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose - White Flowers, Orchard Fruit, White Pepper\u003cbr\u003eWhite flowers, mint, white pepper and green orchard fruit all grace this exquisite, super-expressive Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate - Apricot, Lemon Confit, Filigree Mousse\u003cbr\u003eDeep greenish yellow.
