What kind of wine is Champagne 'Harmony' - Laurent-Perrier?

Champagne 'Harmony' - Laurent-Perrier is a refined Demi-Sec, an elegant and generous expression from the renowned Laurent-Perrier house, one of the oldest Champagne houses in the Tours-sur-Marne region. The controlled designation of origin “Champagne” guarantees exclusive provenance from the hills of the Marne, the beating heart of French winemaking.
