J. Laurens 'Cremant de Limoux' Brut, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
J. Laurens: A Sparkling Legacy History and Heritage Nestled in the southern French village of 'La Digne d'Aval,' near the historic city of Carcassonne, the Domaine J.Laurens has been crafting sparkling wines since the 1980s. This dedication to quality sparkling wines, including the Blanquette and Cremant de Limoux, has solidified its reputation in France and internationally. The winery's history is marked by significant milestones, such as Michel Dervin's establishment of the vineyard in the 1980s, Jacques Calvel's takeover in 2002, and ongoing enhancements to ensure high-quality production. The domain's commitment is encapsulated in its creed: "Quality always rather than quantity sometimes." The Sparkling Process Embracing the traditional 'méthode traditionnelle,' J. Laurens ensures the production of sparkling wines with clear, pure juices. The process involves a first fermentation in stainless steel vats and a second in-bottle fermentation induced by adding sweet juice and yeasts. R
