2002 Brut
| Grapes | Chardonnay, Pinot Noir |

| Origin | France, Champagne |
| ABV | 12% |
A distinctive golden yellow hue with green highlights and a fruity character, revealing the wine's maturity, the aroma evolves into notes of ripe fruits, and acacia honey. The Vintage 2002 beautifully captures Laurent-Perrier's House style of lightness, freshness and elegance imparted by the chardonnays of Côte des Blancs Grand Crus and pinot noirs of Montagne de Reims.

2012 Rating: Silver Medal International Wine Challenge 2015 (Feb 2013)
From the superb 2002 vintage, this equal blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is beautifully refined and structured. Delicate bubbles reveal crisp lemon and yeast aromas, backed by clean lines through the mid-palate and a delicious, spicy finish. Drinking well but worth keeping for a few more years.

Bargain-hunter vintage champagne drinkers will make a beeline for this lively, fresh, floral, waxy champagne, half pinot noir and chardonnay, and its bargain price.Jane MacQuitty, The Times (Apr 2011)
Champagne Laurent Perrier
The House of Laurent Perrier can lay claim to another famous Champagne widow. In 1881 Alphonse Pierlot gifted his Champagne House to his cellar master Eugene Laurent, who only lasted until 1887 when his widow Mathilde-Emilie Perrier took control of Veuve Laurent-Perrier & Cie. Mathilde guided the company through the early years of the 20th Century and the ravages of World War I. On her death in 1925, Eugenie Laurent inherited the company, but was unable to steer a successful path through the difficult inter-war years and in 1939, with another war looming, sold Laurent-Perrier to Marie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt, who's family still run the company today. Success for Laurent-Perrier came in the post-War years with the House joining the ranks of the more famous names. Their multi-vintage prestige cuvée - Grand Siécle - was launched in 1959, and the iconic saignée method rosé followed in 1968.
