The Champagne Brut Millesimé produced by Laurent-Perrier is the perfect synthesis between the particular characteristics of a single vintage and the stylistic continuity of the Maison. Each vintage, although different from the others, is always interpreted according to the philosophy Laurent Perrier, which favors the characteristics of finesse and essentiality. The grapes come from particularly prestigious areas of the estate. The Pinot Noir comes from the vineyards of the Montagne de Reims in the crus of: Verzy, Verzenay, Mailly, Louvois, and Bouzy; the Chardonnay comes from the crus area of the Côte des Blancs of: Chouilly, Cramant, Oger, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Each individual parcel is vinified separately, so that a wide range of vins clairs can be chosen when it comes time to elaborate the final cuvée, exclusively with wines from the vintage, without the addition of reserve wines from previous years.
