The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Champagne
Laurent-Perrier has chosen to make vintages very rarely, only selecting the very best years in which to do so. This makes the Brut Millésimé a rare and outstanding wine that clearly expresses the specific character of a year in the Laurent-Perrier style. In fact, the quality of this Vintage Champagne is so good, a selection of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Grand Crus used for this wine have been reserved for future iterations of the Grand Siècle (Laurent-Perrier’s Prestige Cuvée).
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Michel Fauconnet
Founded over 200 years ago in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is one of the most distinguished family-owned Champagne Houses. Based in the heart of the Champagne region in Tours-sur-Marne, Laurent-Perrier has a pedigree for innovation, handcrafting elegant Champagnes using traditional, time-honoured methods. The house was acquired by the Nonancourt family in 1949 and, for 50 years, Bernard de Nonancourt dedicated his life to innovating and perfecting Laurent-Perrier champagne. Today, with Bernard’s daughters Alexandra and Stéphanie on the Management Board, the House of Laurent-Perrier is one of the great success stories in Champagne and is the largest independent Champagne brand worldwide.
Michel Fauconnet joined Laurent-Perrier in 1973 and, since 2004, he has been the house's 3rd Cellar Master. He has spent his whole career at Laurent-Perrier, from humble beginnings as a cellar worker, before rising to become a supervisor, then head of the cellar. He is responsible for the wines, from vinification to bottling, and has exceptionally high standards.
"The year 2015 is characterised by extreme climatic events: a mild, rainy winter giving way to contrasting weather conditions in spring with an icy period followed by extreme heat and summer storms. Cool, dry weather in September allowed for perfect ripening of the grapes." - Michel Fauconnet, Winemaker.
