The colour is a pale golden hue, with fine and persistent bubbles. The nose is fresh and delicate, showing good complexity with its hints of citrus and white fruit. With its elegant style, Brut L-P has led the way in making champagne the ideal apéritif. Perfectly balanced, with crisp flavours and finesse, it is also an ideal companion for fish, poultry and white meat.

Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is recognised - throughout the world - as one of the finest of Champagne Houses. This success derives, first and foremost, from a clear determination to abide by long-established traditions: respect for nature and wine, dedication to quality, and strong and lasting relationships with all those associated with the company. It is also the result of the family's drive, led by Bernard de Nonancourt, to maintain the House's independence and values.

Now more than ever, the Nonancourt family's values guide the Laurent-Perrier team, currently led by Yves Dumont. An independent spirit has always been the driving force behind the creative winemaking, which has led to a unique and highly successful range of champagnes. They are produced by a team led by Michel Fauconnet, chef de cave , and his predecessor Alain Terrier, who is recognised as one of the greatest winemakers in Champagne. The wines are unique not only because of the philosophy that has inspired them, but also for their style, flavour and consistency in quality, as one cuvee succeeds another.

The result is a range of pleasurable wines that are made to be enjoyed and are repeatedly requested by champagne lovers. The product range is sufficiently diverse to suit many occasions, and Laurent-Perrier has no higher ambition than to provide wine professionals around the world with champagnes that continually seduce and delight those who seek their advice. Customers look to them not only for the prestige of a great wine and the distinction that this conveys, but also to discover unusual and diverse pleasurable taste sensations.

While champagne shows the character of a specific harvest, non-vintage brut exemplifies the style of a particular House. Freshness, elegance and balance, all of which are typical of Laurent-Perrier's wines, are found in the Brut L-P year after year.

Chardonnay, is the dominant grape variety and its proportion is unusually high for a non-vintage champagne blend, being double the average. The blend is made of wines from more than 55 crus or villages and between 10 and 20% of reserve wines are used. Brut L-P is aged on its lees for approximately three years and only a very light dosage is used to preserve its balance and natural freshness.
