The story

The story behind Domaine Laurier

Domaine Laurier was founded in 1978 in western Sonoma County, in Forestville, and built its name on a simple idea: a California sparkling house with a French soul. The label is carried forward today by fourth generation winegrower Joseph J.D. Franzia. Grapes now come from California vineyards and the wine is made in Napa and Ceres.

What separates Domaine Laurier from the tank fermented crowd is method. It is traditional bottle fermentation, methode champenoise, with hand riddling, so the bubbles form inside each bottle the slow way. The grapes are the noble pair, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Legally it is California sparkling wine, not French Champagne, and the label has always been honest about that.
