Tasting note
With appetising aromas of baked apple, rising bread dough, clove and cinnamon, the first impression is like Champagne, due to the similarity in production method, although it is a little lighter, fresher and more sprightly on the palate. With a gentle, delicate mousse and long, fresh flavours, this excellent Crémant is absolutely delicious.
Viticulture
Certified TERRA VITIS and in conversion to organic since 2020 Clay and limestone soils Altitude vineyards on the foothills of the Pyrenees Yields of less than 50hl/ha
Vinification
Limoux enjoys a cool climate, due to its location in the Pyrenean foothills, and is therefore sutable for quality sparkling wine production. Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grapes are harvested by hand, and pressed gently (at less than 1.2 bar). Bottle-aged on lees for 30 months, with final 'dosage' added from a solera of reserve wines.
Food Match
Ideal as an aperitif wine, with seafood canapés or even with roasted poultry
