Jean Laurent is the third‐generation owner at the estate, but his family has been growing wine in the tiny village of

to quality, Champagne Jean Laurent has emerged as of the top grower‐producers in the Côte des Bar.

Tasting Notes: apricot and nectarine aromas on the nose. Fine bubble

Serve With: Excellent with game or rich meats such as duck, it can stand up to richly sauced dishes.

Vineyards are in the village of Celles-sur-Ource, with a few parcels in the neighboring village Landreville. 39 acres (30 Pinot Noir, 6+ Chardonnay, 3 Pinot Blanc, small plantings Arbane) planted in distinctive chalky soils, part of a band that stretches from Champagne to Chablis and all the way to the White Cliffs of Dover. Vineyards average 25 to 30 years in age, with the oldest parcels at more than 60 years old.

Viticulture

Sustainably-grown. Jean carefully limits his vineyard treatments, uses solar panels to generate winery’s electricity, and uses reclaimed rainwater for winery operations.
