J Laurens Clos des Demoiselles Crémant de Limoux 2022
The Champagne killer has arrived...
This area has been making the bubbly stuff longer than Champagne and in many cases, for 1/3 of the price.
J Laurens vintage "Clos des Demoiselles' is not only beautiful in taste and look. It is a clear indicator why Cremant de Limoux is the 'in thing' when it comes to premium bubbly.
The 2022 J. Laurens Clos des Demoiselles is a well-regarded Cremant de Limoux with a golden color, fine bubbles, and a balanced flavor profile.
60% Chardonnay, 25% Chenin and 15% Pinot Noir.
Located not far from Limoux, Domaine J. Laurens perpetuates the art of the traditional method with elegance. A little anecdote: it was in Limoux that the first sparkling wine was born, well before Champagne, in the 16th century... and J. Laurens is today one of its most brilliant heirs.
First created by a man from Champagne in the 80's, then taken over by the current owner,
Jacques Calvel, the estate has been able to combine the know-how of Limoux and Champagne to offer fine, straight, and elegant wines.
Limited yields, pruning and harvesting entirely by hand, transport of the grapes in
perforated crates, filling of the pneumatic presses which gives a slow and gentle press. No integration of the lees in the juice, alcoholic fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless
steel vats, and second fermentation in bottles in our air-conditioned cellars, after a blend of our different grape varieties: essentially Mauzac for the blanquettes; Chardonnay, Chenin and Pinot Noir for our crémants;
The wines are aged on fine lees for 12 to 36 months, then mixed followed by a natural and subtle dosage at the end... we take the greatest care in all the stages of production for our sparkling wines.
Be part of a new and rewarding celebration journey.
