We love Cremant, a amazing value alternative to Champagne - this is a beautifully balanced wine showing delicate soft stone fruit aromas, nuances of caramel and cream with a nice biscuity finish. Don't let the baby pink fool you – La Rose No7 is a seriously good sparkling rosé! A versatile wine suited to most light foods, especially canapés and starters.
J.Laurens produce both Mauzac-dominated Blanquette de Limoux and Chardonnay-based Crémant de Limoux from their 30ha of organically-farmed vineyards slightly south-west of Carcassone. The domaine was established by a champenois in the 80s and is today owned by Jacques Calvel, who surrounded by an expert local team, has built the domaine's current reputation for outstanding sparkling wines.
Since 2003 Pinot Noir has been permitted in a Crémant de Limoux blend, leading to J.Laurens making their first NV rose in 2007.

Since 2003, Pinot Noir has been permitted in a Crémant de Limoux blend, leading to J.Laurens making their first non-vintage rosé in 2007. Don’t let the baby pink colour fool you – La Rose No7 is a seriously good sparkling wine!
This pretty yet very proper pink fizz has lovely wild strawberry fruit on the nose, a fine, satisfying creamy palate and appealing fresh finish.
