Veuve du Vernay sparkling wine has an intimate link to the history of French sparkling wine. Mr. Jean Eugène Charmat, the French scientist, who in 1907 invented the cuve close (“sealed vats”) method of producing fine sparkling wine which has since been adopted worldwide, had a high regard for a widow in the village of Vernay who helped him to start his business.

Louis Perdrier is a high quality French Sparkling Wine, made from only the finest French white grapes following a rigorous selection process in the region of production and a subsequent organoleptic and tasting analysis at the cellars in Beaune.

The values and expertise that created the unique and enduring style of Champagne Lanson have been handed down from generation to generation. As “caretakers” of this tradition, it is seen as a duty to pass on the traditions, while always remaining responsive to the taste of the modern, champagne drinker.
