Details

From our distributor:
Known as BLANQUETTE for the fine white coating which forms on it's leaves, the Mauzac of the Blanquette appellation is the traditional grape variety of the Limoux vineyard. It distinguishs itself by its aromas of green apple, acacia flowers and apricot with toasted nuances.The J.Laurens Domain knows how to stamp its signature: with finesse and freshness. This Blanquette is perfect as an aperitif or with an entrée like marinated salmon.

In the years 80, an expert from the Champagne region steeped in the tradition of refined, light sparkling wine understand the interest of Limoux's terroir : Michel Dervin decide to buy some vineyard in the area and start producing the well known Blanquette de Limoux. In 2002, Jacques Calvel, who was an entrepreneur inSwitzerland, but native of Limoux and attracted by wines take over. Helped by Michel "savoir faire" and Henri Albrus, the winemaker, he decide to restructure the domain : vineyard and equipment in order to guarantee a high quality every year.

Today in 2009 the Domaine J.Laurens is proud to produce a splendid range of Blanquette & Cremant de Limoux– with a healthy vineyard, new buildings, a more consequent team and an increase of sales but still with the same quality philosophy.

We realize that protecting the landscape is very important as well as respecting the biological diversity and we always tried to minimize the treatments. For each of our vines we apply the method of reasoned agriculture by observing the vineyard every day and with the help of a professional technician we know how to use treatments only if it’s really necessary. On the other hand we choose only products that help in protecting the soil : for example we only use organic fertilizer.
