From the largest family-owned line of esteemed Champagne, Laurent Perrier has been at the forefront of the champagne-making business founded in 1812. In 1881, when Cellar Master Eugène Laurent took over the Alphonse Pierlot Champagne House, he purchased vines in the very best terroirs of Bouzy, Tours-sur-Marne, and Ambonnay, excavated 800 metres of cellars, and set up a tasting laboratory. Today, that is how the Domaine Laurent-Perrier (the Estate) was anchored in Tours-sur-Marne. This picturesque village is ideally situated at the crossroads of the three main wine growing areas of the Marne department: the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne and the Côte des Blancs. It is also part of the 17 Champagne villages ranking in the prestigious 'Grand Cru' area.
