In the lineage of great Champagne signatures dedicated to purity, the Laurent-Perrier, Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature stands as an ode to the clarity and verticality of Chardonnay. Unadorned and non-dosed, it lets the brightness of the fruit and the nobility of the chalk soils speak. Selected from the finest crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, the grapes produce a wine that is both airy and precise, its pale gold colour enlivened by a very fine and persistent mousse. Aged 5 years on lees, this Champagne AOC combines energy, straightness and length, finishing with a chiseled freshness. In its case, it suits both momentous occasions and intimate connoisseur moments, where one savours the art of controlled minimalism.

Blend and winemaking

Made exclusively from Chardonnay, this Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature concentrates the essence of great chalky terroirs. The grapes come from benchmark villages of the Côte des Blancs, Avize, Cramant, Oiry, Chouilly, complemented by crus from the Montagne de Reims, Tours-sur-Marne, Villers-Marmery, Rilly-la-Montagne. Vinification in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks preserves aromatic precision and the grape's natural freshness. True to its promise of purity, the cuvée is zero dosage with 0 g/l of added sugar, expressing without artifice the mineral thread and lemony brightness of Chardonnay. An aging of 5 years on lees provides fine bubbles, a silky texture and subtle complexity, followed by disgorgement that marks the sought-after balance. Launched in 2019, this cuvée is the House's first 100% Chardonnay expression with no added sugar, a manifesto of elegance and sincerity.

Tasting notes

• Colour: Bright pale gold, animated by a fine and steady effervescence that forms a delicate, persistent bead.
• Nose: Upright and precise profile. Mineral and chalky nuances, lemon citrus and delicate zest, a purity that evokes damp stone and the morning freshness of the vineyards.
• Palate: Bright, lifted attack, a balanced progression supported by salivating acidity. The mid-palate combines tension and delicacy, then stretches into a fresh, clean and persistent finish with an elegant saline sensation.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve between 10 et 12°C to reveal the finesse of the citrus and the chalky dimension. A tulip-shaped glass with a narrow rim will highlight the delicate effervescence and aromatic precision. Open the bottle a few minutes before serving to let the wine find its rhythm and reveal its most graceful angles. Store your bottles on their side, away from light and temperature fluctuations to preserve the integrity of the bubbles and the freshness of the profile. This cuvée can be enjoyed now for its clarity and lift, and may gain complexity over the years depending on your tasting preferences.
