LAURENT PERRIER Brut Millésimé 2012 is an exceptionally rare vintage champagne , expressing the unique character of a year in the distinctive style of the Maison Laurent-Perrier. The year 2012 was distinguished by a rainy spring and a gloomy start to the summer. However, from mid-August onwards, very dry weather and warm temperatures set in in Champagne, lasting until the end of the harvest. The yield of the 2012 harvest was relatively modest, which contributed to the production of concentrated champagnes. The Brut Millésimé 2012 is composed of equal parts of 50% Chardonnay, from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs (Oger, Cramant, Chouilly and Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger), and 50% Pinot Noir, from the Montagne de Reims (Bouzy, Aÿ, Verzy, Mailly and Rilly-la-Montagne). This vintage is distinguished by a white gold color, accompanied by a very fine and persistent effervescence. On the nose, it offers great aromatic complexity, with floral, citrus and white peach notes. On the palate, the attack is lively and the champagne, very present, reveals great finesse and a beautiful minerality, with notes of grapefruit on the finish. The Brut Millésimé 2012 from Maison Laurent-Perrier has excellent aging potential. Served at 10°C, it pairs perfectly with seafood, noble fish, poultry, veal and will enhance cooked pressed cheeses, such as a young Comté or a Beaufort. Awards: 92 / 100 Revue du Vin de France, 93 / 100 Bettane & Desseauve and 16.5 / 20 Gault & Millau.

THE BRAND
Founded in 1812 by André-Michel Pierlot, a former cooper and bottler from Chigny-les-Roses, the Champagne House took its current name, Veuve Laurent-Perrier, when, in full expansion, Mathilde Emilie Perrier decided to merge the family names. This initiative marked the beginning of a succession of visionary women at the head of the company. In 1925, Eugénie Hortense Laurent inherited the House, then handing over the reins to Marie-Louise de Nonancourt, née Lanson, in 1939. Today, Laurent-Perrier is recognized worldwide as one of the greatest champagne brands. Each wine from the House demonstrates unparalleled audacity and creativity, responding to the aspirations of an era passionate about discovery. Each cuvée tells its story, revealing a unique personality. Beyond its excellence in champagne, Laurent-Perrier embodies an epicurean art of living, celebrating the pleasures and art of the table. As a reminder, it is an independent family Champagne House and is a pillar of the Laurent-Perrier group, founded in 1983 by Bernard de Nonancourt, the visionary behind the Salon, Delamotte and de Castellane brands, who bought Laurent-Perrier in 1948. From the cellar to international markets, Bernard de Nonancourt devoted himself body and soul to raising the brand to the top. His motto, "quality of wines, quality of people" guided each of his actions. In particular, he introduced the Brut Nature and the Cuvée Rosée, thus shaping the distinctive style of the House around finesse, freshness and elegance. These values have since spread across the world, present in more than 160 countries today. Maximilien Bernardeau took the reins as the new cellar master in 2023, continuing the legacy of excellence established by his predecessor.
