Laurent‑Perrier Description (According to Laurent‑Perrier Website): Laurent‑Perrier is a family-owned House that has always had a pioneering and innovating role in Champagne. A former cooper and bottler in Chigny-les-Roses, André-Michel Pierlot settled in Tours‑sur‑Marne in 1812 as a champagne wine merchant. It was in this Grand Cru village, located at the crossroads of the three main vineyards, on plots of land known as Les Plaisances and La Tour Glorieux, that he founded what was to become Maison Laurent‑Perrier. He was succeeded by his son Alphonse Pierlot. As Alphonse Pierlot had no descendants, he passed the company on to his cellar master Eugène Laurent. Eugène Laurent died prematurely in 1887, and his widow, Mathilde-Emilie Perrier, took over the reins of the company, adding her surname to that of Eugène Laurent to give the House the name Veuve Laurent‑Perrier. In 1889.
