Founded by Alphonse Pierlot in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is a family owned Champagne house with a long and rich history. Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt managed the company during the Second World War and once hid 100,000 bottles behind a wall to protect them from German soldiers. A couple of years later one of her sons, army sergeant Bernard de Nonancourt, helped break into Hitler’s retreat in the Bavarian Alps – where he discovered half a million bottles of wine. Among them were several hundred cases of very expensive Champagne that he had watched being stolen five years earlier! Made with grapes from twelve of Champagne’s finest Grand Cru vineyards, this is a superbly rich and complex bubbly, ideal for any special occasion.
