An exceptional wine – a tête de cuvee – upon wich the reputation of the Domaine J.Laurens is built. The first impressions of this Crémant are of an intense and complex nose of citrus and dried fruits, honey with a touch of green apple. On the palate, we find all the expression of a well-rounded wine, of toast with an after taste of fresh fruits and lime. Ideal as aperitif with ‘’tapas’’ for example or with oysters and other seafood, white meats as well as cheeses.

Chardonnay : 60 % Mauzac : 5 % Chenin : 30 % Pinot : 5 %
The Mauzac and the Chenin are grown on the granular chalk- limestone well watered soil and the Chardonnay and the Pinot in deeper soil with more humidity.
The region's climate is a well-balanced mixture of mediterranean and atlantic influences ; giving rise to hot, sunny days followed by cool nights, allowing the development of a grape completely healthy and mature. These condtions help create a perfect acid-sugar balance ; a fundamental element in the taste of sparkling wines.
End of August / begining of Septembre.
Early hand picking to ensure a good acid-sugar balance. Transportation in small crates to avoid squashing the grapes.
Delicate and prgressive pneumatic pressing with a view to producing an assemblage of "heart of the vintage".
