About this winery

André-Michel Pierlot moved to Tours-sur-Marne in 1812 as a Champagne wine merchant. It was in the village, on the plots called Les Plaisances and La Tour Glorieux that he founded what would become Maison Laurent-Perrier. His son Alphonse will succeed him, but the latter having no descendants, he will pass the estate on to his cellar master Eugène Laurent. When Eugène Laurent died prematurely in 1887, his widow, Mathilde Émilie Perrier took over the reins of the company and added his...

Product notes

Forerunner of the Brut Nature category, Laurent-Perrier Ultra Brut is a wine without added sugar, it expresses a champagne in its purest form originally called "Grand Vin sans sucre". Launched in 1981, this innovation is a true illustration of the Maison's know-how.

Production notes

15 Crus go into the composition. Zero dosage: the Crus and the grape varieties are rigorously selected to keep only those which have both good maturity and low acidity, which allows the wine to achieve the desired balance without the addition of any dosage.

Tasting notes

Very clear and crystalline color. An intense and complex nose of extreme freshness with notes of fruit (citrus fruits, white fruits), flowers (honeysuckle) and iodized notes, which give an extreme sensation of freshness. This airy and delicate wine of surprising length is characterized by great purity, a long and unsaturated finish. Pairings with seafood, sushi, raw fish and a Pata Negra ham

Stephan Reinhardt, June 2016

The current NV Ultra Brut is a 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir blend that is based on the 2007 vintage; it includes – as always – a reserve of the former Ultra Brut vintage, in this case 2004. In fact, the Ultra Brut is produced only every three years on average and the 2007 base is only the twelfth cuvée since the (1976), which was released in 1989. It is citrus-colored and has some very nice white-golden reflections. Bright and fresh on the intensely-flavored brioche nose, this vibrant, round and mouth-filling Champagne reveals a persistent mineral complexity and structure, along with very elegant and refreshing citrus fruit.

Or jaune clair, les premiers parfums sont spécifiquement vert zeste, fenouil, anis et sont caractéristiques des épices et des racines avec une grande profondeur. L’iode et la craie fine sont comme toujours très simples et distincts. Un palais poudré au calcaire bien défini, à la précision des agrumes verts et à l’influence métallique significative de la simplicité singulière de cette cuvée. Une finale saline et végétale parfaite.
