A Staff FAVORITE for the Holidays!

PURITY AND ELEGANCE IN A GLASS

“The holiday season is officially in full swing, and what better time to stock up on some bubbles? Nothing is more festive than real champagne - whether as a gift, to celebrate a milestone, to enjoy with a holiday meal or ring in the New Year. Laurent-Perrier, a Wine House staff favorite, is a terrific house for your champagne needs, whether you want a classic Brut or an elegant Brut Rosé. For more than two hundred years, their house style has been purity, freshness, and elegance. Two of our favorites, the Laurent-Perrier "La Cuvée" Brut and the Laurent-Perrier Brut Rosé are absolutely delicious, and we have them both in stock at a great price (only $39.99 for the "La Cuvée" Brut and only $68.99 for the Brut Rosé). So raise a glass and let the stress flow away! – Glen Knight, The Wine House

93 Points: “The brioche and cooked-apple and cream character really comes through here. Full-bodied and round with fine bubbles. Flavorful and intense. Vivid, bread-dough finish. This is four years on lees. 55% chardonnay and the rest pinot.” – James Suckling (September 2019)

90 Points: “This is smooth and softly textured wine. With its relatively high dosage and creamy texture, this standard nonvintage cuvée is immediately accessible and delicious. Great fruit makes it a great aperitif style of Champagne.” – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast (August 2018)

90 Points: “Lightly toasty and vibrant, this balanced Champagne carries flavors of melon, black currant, lemon preserves and smoky mineral on a fine, lively mousse. Drink now through 2021. 24,000 cases imported.” – Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator (November 2019)

93 Points: “A rich rosé Champagne, offering seamlessly woven flavors of baked black cherry, candied pink grapefruit peel, brioche and pastry cream. Vibrant acidity and a finely detailed mousse send this dancing across the palate. Drink now through 2024. 10,000 cases imported.” – Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator (December 2019)

92 Points: “Shows a linear line of crisp acidity and vivid fruit of dried strawberries and orange peel. Full-bodied, tight and focused with a bright finish. Fruity yet vivid. Commanding. Drink now.” – James Suckling (September 2018)

ABOUT LAURENT-PERRIER

Birth
The House of Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 by André Michel Pierlot and took the name Vve Laurent-Perrier when Mathilde Emilie Perrier, the widow of Eugène Laurent, combined the two family names after she decided to expand the business.

Eugénie Hortense Laurent, her daughter, inherited the House in 1925 and sold it to Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939

Rebirth
During WWII, Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt ran the business while two of her sons, Maurice and Bernard, joined the French Resistance.

In 1945, Bernard de Nonancourt began an exacting apprenticeship, learning every aspect of winemaking from vine to cellar, before his appointment in October 1948 as Chairman and Chief Executive. At that point, the House was employing around 20 people and shipping 80,000 bottles a year.

Expansion
Fired by a passion for champagne, a respect for traditional values and, most importantly, for people, Bernard de Nonancourt inspired Laurent-Perrier with his independent spirit and creative audacity.

He established privileged working relationships with the grape growers and cleverly combined innovation and tradition. He created the signature Laurent-Perrier style of freshness, lightness and elegance and developed a unique range of champagnes which are today exported to more than 160 countries worldwide.
