J. Laurens is an estate established by Michel Dervin in the 1980s in Languedoc. The focus is on Mauzac-dominated Blanquette de Limoux and Chardonnay-based Cremant de Limoux made from their 30 hectares of sustainably-farmed vines, south west of Carcassone. Since 2002 it has been owned by the locally-born entrepreneur Jacques Calvel and overseen by expert winemaker Henri Albus. Today the estate has an outstanding and well deserved reputation for its sparkling wines.
