Laurent-Perrier lays claim to being the largest independent Champagne house, having been built up in spectacular fashion by Bernard de Nonancourt from small beginnings. His two daughters - Alexandra and Stéphanie - are involved in the business, helping to keep the inimitable Brut Rosé on the tip of people’s tongues, as well as the elegant Chardonnay-dominated ‘Brut L-P’. Laurent-Perrier is to be found out in the countryside, in extensive grounds near Tours-sur-Marne, in contrast to the great majority of big Champagne houses which operate from town sites in Epernay and Reims. Laurent-Perrier also owns three other houses: De Castellane, Salon and Delamotte.
