In 1982, Daniel Laurent took over the family estate from his parents. His
father used only a tiny part of his harvest for making his Champagne for a
few friends and clients, the rest of the grapes being sold to traders. In
Autumn 1982, Daniel decided to produce his own Champagne, with the
assistance of his wife, and they registered their present trademark,
"Champagne Laurent-Gabriel". The estate is a very small one, 2.5 hectares of
vines producing about 18,000 bottles of Champagne per year. The vines are
located in two places - 90% in Avenay Val d'Or, classified as a Premier Cru
and Avize classified as a Grand Cru. Try their excellent Champagne Brut
Cuvée Prestige, strong on character, just the way we like them, aromatic and
long, combining finesse and structure. Nice and round with a very aromatic
bouquet of white flowers and citronella. Nice Champagne Brut Carte d'Or with
a strong colour and lots of fruit at a very affordable price.
