The story
The Laurent-Perrier Name
In 1887, Eugène Laurent died in a cellar accident, leaving his widow Mathilde Emilie Perrier in charge of the business. She combined their last names, creating Laurent-Perrier as the house name.

The house is now run by Bernard's daughters, Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt and Alexandra Pereyre de Nonancourt. In 2019, Alexandra's daughter Lucie Pereyre de Nonancourt joined the company as global representative for Grand Siècle.
