In partnership with Champagne Laurent-Perrier
Originally founded in 1812, the House of Laurent-Perrier has been defined by its pioneering role in innovating champagne throughout history.
"There are two key factors to success. Put simply it is: quality of the people and quality of the product." - Bernard de Nonancourt.
The Laurent-Perrier portfolio consists of eight champagnes including Grand Siècle, which was originally launched in 1959 and blends three outstanding vintages to recreate the perfect year.
In 2018, Laurent-Perrier celebrated half a century of its Cuvée Rosé – the original “modern” rosé champagne - which was born in 1968 by defying conventions and using innovative wine-making techniques. The brand’s innovative spirit continues into the present day, with the recent launch of its latest champagne, a Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature.

When Bernard de Nonancourt took over Laurent-Perrier in 1948, he challenged the conventions of an industry whose most innovative years were a hundred years behind it.
He chose to focus on one grape, Chardonnay, injecting finesse and lightness into many Laurent-Perrier champagnes. These grapes are blended with Pinot Noir and sometimes Pinot Meunier, but they always predominate, and their flavor runs like a golden strand through all the maison’s cuvées – except of course Cuvée Rosé, which is made exclusively with Pinot Noir.

To celebrate this special partnership, we commissioned an exclusive illustration of Cunard's flagship Queen Mary 2 by much-loved artist Quentin Blake. His signature style is recognized globally and similar studies feature in the Laurent-Perrier 'Chosen by the Best ' campaign, including Corinthia London, The Ritz and The Royal Albert Hall.
There are many opportunities to savor Laurent-Perrier's timeless taste with Cunard.
