The Making of Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2012 Champagne

The Laurent-Perrier Brut Millésimé 2012 is made from a balanced blend of Chardonnay (50%) from the Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs such as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Cramant, and Chouilly, and Pinot Noir (50%) from the Montagne de Reims, notably from the Crus of Bouzy, Ay, Verzy, Mailly, and Rilly-la-Montagne. This combination of grape varieties gives this cuvée its unique character, combining the freshness of Chardonnay and the structure of Pinot Noir.

The year 2012 was marked by a series of climatic incidents, ranging from winter frost to spring hailstorms. Despite these challenges, the summer offered exceptional ripening conditions, allowing for a harvest of remarkable quality. The great maturity of the grapes harvested gave birth to a champagne of great complexity. After vinification, the cuvée rests in the cellar for several years, reaching perfect maturity before being released.
