Champagne Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut NV

It's unusual to find a Champagne of this calibre that is still family owned and independent - which allows it to continue to produce world class wines that adhere to their original values - and as ever - with respect for the environment. Established in 1812 by the original family, it is Bernard de Nonancourt who bought the vineyard in 1939 who is credited with the creation of the Laurent-Perrier style of freshness, elegance and purity. The Rose is famous for it's highly expressive bouquet that "stems from the very careful preservation of th grape's naturally fresh, red fruit aromas", in the words of winemaker Michel Fauconnet. 

A little bit of history

Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt, who managed the company during the Second World War, hid 100,000 bottles behind a wall to protect them from being looted by the German invaders. At the end of the war, when soldiers broke into Hitler's Bavarian retreat, they were found and recovered by Bernard de Nonancourt who helped in the operation and who had been present when the wine was stolen five years previously.
