Domaine J.Laurens

The estate has produced exclusively sparkling wines since its inception and this is our specificity and our know-how. Over the years, our reputation has established itself with beautiful spontaneous articles in prestigious newspapers: Le Monde, L'Express, Le Nouvel Observateur, Le New York Times, The Financial Post, The Decanteur... Our vines are planted on both sides of the village on the hillsides, here called''les Blanquetières''. This is explained by Mauzac, a traditional grape variety, with the particularity of having leaves with white undersides in Spring that turn around with the wind of the Cers and give the impression of a "white" vine, hence the name Blanquette. Our soils, of the clay-limestone type, require the use of fertilizers. In our country this fertilizer is only organic out of respect for the environment. The harvest is entirely manual and it is therefore a team of about twenty cutters and carriers that we receive each year in our vineyards. The work is hard because the vines are planted on hillsides but the atmosphere is beautiful because we bring in our harvest with our hands.

Our story

Created in the 1980s by a Champagne man who saw the region's full potential for sparkling wines. I took it over in 2001 with the desire to develop this pretty little estate. After years of working in IT abroad, the desire to return to my home region and participate in its development has titillated me... Very quickly, I wanted to develop the J. Laurens estate, there was a real know-how with the cellar master in place and a lot of potential. Surrounded by a small, close-knit and enthusiastic team, we have expanded, restructured and innovated.
