Some houses focus on the pinot noir grape in their champagnes which provides big, round and powerful cuvées and some houses focus on chardonnay which provides more mineral drive, citrus and elegance. If you prefer the latter, then perhaps consider a bottle of Laurent-Perrier as your 'go-to' entertaining wine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis maison has a serious history but over the last 100 years has had a long line of influential women at its helm (\u003c\/span\u003eMathilde Emilie Perrier in 1812 and later in 1938 \u003cspan\u003eMarie-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt)\u003c\/span\u003e, and we cannot help but think that this has influenced the style – graceful, elegant and sophisticated.
