Founded in 1812 in Tours-sur-Marne, the Laurent-Perrier house has built its reputation on a fresh, elegant style in which Chardonnay plays the leading role. La Cuvée is its non-vintage brut, the most direct expression of this style, and the Champagne that made the house known worldwide.
La Cuvée blends more than 50% Chardonnay, 30 to 35% Pinot Noir and 10 to 15% Meunier, from more than 100 crus. The house adds 15 to 30% reserve wines to keep a consistent style from year to year. It ages about four years in the house cellars, well beyond the fifteen months required by the appellation.
Pale gold, fine bubbles and a persistent mousse. The delicate nose mixes fresh citrus and white flowers. The palate layers vine peach and white fruit, in a fine balance of freshness and finesse, through to a fruity finish.
A fresh, precise brut, ideal as an aperitif or at the table, to drink from 2026 to 2028. Serve it between 8 and 10 °C, in a wine glass, with langoustines and warm mayonnaise.

No. La Cuvée is a non-vintage Brut Champagne. Wines from different years are blended through the use of reserve wines, allowing Laurent-Perrier to maintain a consistent House style despite variations between individual harvests.
La Cuvée contains more than 50% Chardonnay, 30 to 35% Pinot Noir and 10 to 15% Meunier. This unusually high proportion of Chardonnay plays a central role in its fresh, floral and elegant style.
Laurent-Perrier incorporates 15 to 30% reserve wines into the blend. These wines help maintain the consistency of the House style while adding complexity to a Champagne whose character remains focused on freshness.
La Cuvée benefits from approximately 4 years of ageing in Laurent-Perrier's cellars. This is considerably longer than the regulatory minimum for non-vintage Champagne and contributes to its finesse while preserving its fresh character.
La Cuvée is a dosed Brut Champagne designed to balance freshness, fruit and finesse. Ultra Brut is made without dosage, producing a drier and more stripped-back expression. Both reflect Laurent-Perrier's emphasis on freshness, but Ultra Brut takes this approach considerably further.
La Cuvée is dominated by Chardonnay and focuses on citrus, white flowers and finesse. Cuvée Rosé is made exclusively from Pinot Noir and offers a much more pronounced red-fruit character. The two Champagnes therefore provide distinctly different expressions of the Laurent-Perrier style.
Its freshness and finesse make it particularly suitable as an aperitif and with seafood, shellfish, fish and white meats. Langoustines, scallops and delicate white fish are particularly natural pairings.
A 75cl bottle is currently priced at €42,50. A 75cl bottle with gift box is priced at €43,90, while the 1.5L magnum is €91.
