Laurent-Perrier Celebrates Bicentenary Year With Gold Medal At Chelsea Flower Show

Champagne Laurent-Perrier is delighted to announce it has again been awarded Gold at this year’s prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show.  The gold medal was received by Arne Maynard for his elegant design, which represents the art of fine craftsmanship - the garden is a timeless, ornamental, ‘gardener’s garden’ with all elements having been carefully handcrafted.

  “This is a very special year for Laurent-Perrier, as we celebrate our Bicentenary,” said David Hesketh MW, Managing Director, Champagne Laurent-Perrier UK. “Laurent-Perrier has been handcrafting a fine and diverse range of champagnes since 1812 and Arne’s design perfectly encapsulates the essence of our heritage. This, our twelfth gold medal at Chelsea, is deserved recognition of all the hours of hard work that has gone into delivering an exceptional garden”.
  With a theme inspired by Laurent-Perrier’s 200-year heritage of time-honoured methods and reputation for creating pioneering champagnes, the garden showcases exacting attention to detail.  A combination of traditional and contemporary elements exudes an everlasting elegance through both the planting and landscaping. Arne, who returns to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show after 12 years, has devised a ‘real’ garden that will sustain its splendour all year round and which in a true situation would provide a regular supply of cut flowers for the house.
  Plants have been chosen for their colour, texture and scent to evoke fond memories and affections. Arne uses a variety of roses, not seen on Chelsea Show Gardens in recent years, as well as Dianthus superbus, Hesperis matronalis var. albiflora and lavender to leave lingering floral notes in the air around the garden. The dusky pink, burgundy and copper colour palette evokes the iconic Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé.
