Neben dem Stil waren es die Pionierrolle und die Innovationskraft, welche seinen Champagner prägten und dies stets im Dienste der Qualität der Weine.

Laurent-Perrier gehört heute zu den größten Champagnerhäusern weltweit und verdankt diesen Erfolg vor allem der kompromisslosen Einhaltung der seit Jahrhunderten bestehenden Traditionen: Respekt für die Natur und die Weine, hohes Qualitätsbewusstsein, starke und dauerhafte Beziehungen mit den Menschen, die das Unternehmen tragen, sowohl innerhalb als auch außerhalb des Hauses. Aber auch die Energie einer Familie, allen voran Bernard de Nonancourt, hat zu diesem Erfolg beigetragen. Die Familie de Nonancourt hat es immer verstanden, die Unabhängigkeit ihres Hauses zu erhalten und die damit verbundenen Werte zu bewahren.

    Advances in Sugar Crop Processing and Conversion ASCPC Technical Sugar Research Conference Welcome to ASCPC 2018! This conference is organized by a committee of scientists, support scientists, and technical assistants from the Sugar and Energy CRIS Research Project belonging to the Commodity Utilization Research Unit at the Southern Regional Research Center (SRRC) of the United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service (USDA‐ARS), located in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. The title of the current project is: “Develop Technologies that Enable Growth and Profitability in the Commercial Conversion of Sugarcane, Sweet Sorghum, and Energy Beets into Sugar, Advanced Biofuels, and Bioproducts.” These developments were the primary reasons to create the ASCPC conference and to show return of investment to project stakeholders, and create, investigate, and promote the use of sugar crops for processing and conversion into food, energy, and materials. ASCPC conference incorporates the processing and conversion of all three crops as a much needed platform to enlighten the general audience on new technologies and provide advancements and new directions translatable to each crop industry. ASCPC 2018 includes a Liquid Sweetener/Beverage workshop and the Sweet Sorghum Association (SSA) meeting.
