Established in 1970 by John and Suzanne l'Hoste, the business was handed down to their sons Pascal and Dominique, who invest all their passion and determination in the vineyard. By bringing care, attention and modernity, by the constant desire to distinguish themselves with their knowledge and desire for perfection, by always working with a respect for nature in the service of both vine and wine, they continue to develop this wonderful nectar we call champagne. They will be delighted to help you discover and enjoy it.

The NV (2018) Extra Brut Rosé de Saignée Les Beaudiers is 100% Meunier from vines planted in 1953, 1958 and 1963. It is also one of the most complex and distinctive Rosés readers will come across. Gorgeous floral and savory nuances weave through a delicate, understated core of Meunier fruit. The Beaudiers is a contemplative wine to savor over a leisurely meal. I loved it. Dosage is 3 grams per liter. Disgorged: November, 2021.

Old vines (planted in 1953, 1958 and 1965) in the low-yielding parcel of Les Baudiers planted to Meunier, but the occasional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Fromonteau vines are found in the vineyard as well. Extremely careful, meticulous work is done in the vineyard to obtain the healthiest grapes. Destemming and maceration of 12-16 hours, primary fermentation in barrel, no malo, aged minimum of 4 years, dosed at 0-5 gr/l depending on the vintage. Aurelien seeks a vinous and textured wine but with delicacy and lift for a rosé de saignée

"The Laurent-Perrier NV Brut is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 35% Pinot Noir and 15% Meunier, and is based on 2009 plus 15-30% reserve wines from two or three vintages. Citrus colored, this signature LP has a refined, fresh and elegant nose with brioche and delicate citrus flavors. Lean, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a dry and silky textured, vivacious, and perfectly fresh and balanced aperitif Champagne. It does not have the opinion-dividing thrill and tension of the Ultra Brut, but will probably find more friends." 90pts WA

"A harmonious Champagne, with a vibrant backbone of acidity and a well-knit mix of poached pear, lemon preserves, smoke and toast. Very accessible. Drink now through 2018. 22,000 cases imported."

This has racy acidity driving flavors of ripe green apple, lemon blossoms, biscuit and white cherry as they ride the finely detailed mousse. Mouthwatering and elegant, with a chalky finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

This has become the house Champagne for a number of PJ staffers, and for good reason. It's a grower Champagne that blows away almost everything in its price range. Here, you're not paying for ad campaigns, marketing hype, or labels, but just stellar Champagne. This leans more towards the Pinot Noir side of the Champagne spectrum, and there are delightful hints of the red fruit on the nose, followed by refined, tight bubbles on the tongue. Not yeasty or bread-y; more of a drink-now electricity that inspires us to keep our fridges well-stocked with its hand remuaged delights. - PJ

A firm and minerally rosé Champagne, with oyster shell and chalk notes underscoring the raspberry coulis and nectarine fruit flavors. Tightly meshed and mouthwatering throughout, with spice and almond skin notes playing on the finish. Disgorged August 2019. Drink now through 2025.

The NV Brut Rosé is flat-out delicious. The word ’balance’ is so overused in wine, but I really can’t think of a better way to describe the Brut Rosé. It is not nervy nor overly rich, but just impeccable in its poise and overall harmony. A healthy amount of Pinot lends volume and intensity to this Chardonnay-based Rosé. This is the sort of wine that is opened and disappears within a few minutes. This release is a blend of vintages 2017 and 2016. Disgorged: August, 2019.
