Domaine Laurens

The Laurens family has been established in the village of Clairvaux d'Aveyron for several generations in the heart of the Marcillac valley. Starting with a few hectares of vines on the steep slopes of the valley, we have developed the estate to reach today 25 hectares in the Marcillac appellation area. We have selected the slopes with the best exposure for the optimal expression of our local grape variety, the Fer Servadou, known as "Mansois".

Our work policy is an environmentally friendly agriculture (grassing between the rows, control of treatments, soil work), allowing us to manage our parcel diversity as an asset and to allow the grapes to express the maximum of their qualitative potential. We will adhere to the "High Environmental Value" charter to highlight the diversity of fauna and flora that characterizes our vines. The vineyard takes advantage of the clay soils rich in iron oxide from which they take their name of Rougier, overlaid with limestone scree from the Causses.
Our latest investments in the winery allow us to make parcel-based vinifications and to express each terroir to the fullest.

Our story

In the 70's the two brothers, Gilbert and Michel took over the family business with 3 hectares of vines. To diversify the business, they created a distillery which allowed them to market a range of aperitifs and white brandies and to be joined by Martine and Maryse, their wives. Since then, the Domaine Laurens has continued to develop its range of Marcillac wines. The machine is launched, and in 2015 the new generation takes over the domain to perpetuate the family tradition. Vincent, Eric and Pascal want to make their passion their profession and preserve a family heritage.
