Laurent Perrier Blanc de Blancs NV - Brut Nature

Laurent-Perrier Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature is a bone-dry, 100% Chardonnay Champagne with no added dosage, from Tours-sur-Marne.

Champagne, France | 100% Chardonnay | Brut Nature (Zero Dosage)

Tasting Notes

The wine has a white gold colour with a fine sparkle. The nose displays minerality and hints of citrus. On the palate, the wine is balanced and sustained with a finish that is fresh with notes of lemon. 100% Chardonnay from the best crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims.

A pure, bone-dry expression of Chardonnay, all minerality and citrus, with no dosage to soften it.

Why you'll love it: For drinkers who like Champagne crisp, dry and mineral rather than rich or sweet, this is about as pure as it gets. No sugar added at the end, just Chardonnay and chalk. A superb aperitif.

The Style

Laurent-Perrier pioneered the Brut Nature (zero dosage) style back in 1981. With no sugar added after disgorgement, there is nothing to round off or mask the wine, so it relies entirely on ripe Chardonnay fruit and careful ageing in stainless steel. Best served between 9°C and 11°C.

Reviews

93 points, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, November 2023: "Apricot tart, lemon curd and marzipan over chalky minerality."

93 points, Wine Enthusiast (Roger Voss), December 2023: "Crisp, with minerality and tight citrus fruits."

93 points, Wine Advocate: "White fruits, flowers, confit citron and baked bread." Based on the 2014 and 2012 vintages.

The current release was disgorged with no dosage in September 2024, a blend of the 2016 and 2014 vintages.

The Royal Warrant

Laurent-Perrier holds the Royal Warrant as a supplier of Champagne to the Royal Household. King Charles III granted it in 2024, making Laurent-Perrier the first Champagne house to receive his warrant, a relationship that began when he appointed the house as Prince of Wales in 1998.

About Laurent-Perrier

Laurent-Perrier is an independent, family-owned Champagne house founded in 1812 at Tours-sur-Marne, a Grand Cru village in the heart of the region. After passing to cellar master Eugène Laurent and his widow Mathilde-Emilie Perrier, who gave the house its name, it was bought by Marie-Louise de Nonancourt in 1939. Her son Bernard de Nonancourt, a veteran of the French Resistance, took charge in 1948 and built the modern house style of freshness, elegance and purity, growing Laurent-Perrier into one of the world's leading Champagne houses. It remains independent and family-run, today led by Bernard's daughters Alexandra Pereyre de Nonancourt and Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt, with Chardonnay at the heart of its blends.

Perfect with fresh oysters, sushi and sashimi, or ceviche. The bone-dry, saline style is made for raw seafood and clean, delicate flavours.
