The 2012 wine year was complicated with winter and then spring frosts, hail and fungal diseases, which had an impact on yields, which were rather moderate. The dry and sunny summer allowed exceptional maturation of the grapes which were harvested in perfect health.

About Laurent Perrier Wines

The 2012 Champagne Brut is equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and has 8 grams per liter dosage. Since the 1950s, only 30 vintages have been produced by the house.

“The aromatics are reminiscent of a Burgundian feel, with pleasant flinty reduction, smoke, and vibrant green fruits of pear and citrus blossoms. Offering an energetic mousse with green apple, yellow plum, lemon curd, and wet stone, this wine is well-balanced and should continue to improve over the coming 15-20 years.” 11/22 94 Points, Sarah Mayo, The Wine Independent:

Light gold with very fine, persistent bubbles, the Brut Millésimé 2012 is 50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir aged ten years on lees and finished with an eight gram per liter. Redolent of white peach, Chantecler apple, toasted brioche, vanilla bean, and honey brickle, the medium to full-bodied palate is richly textured around a plush red fruit core and balanced by stimulating and bright acid freshness through a long finish with a kiss of lemon peel bitterness.

In September 2019, the House was strengthened with the arrival of Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt, Alexandra’s eldest daughter; she represents Grand Siècle throughout the world. She trains with the Cellar Master, the production teams, the sales teams, thus being part of the innovative know-how of Laurent-Perrier.
