An exciting addition to our vast Bubbly offering. Just in time for Christmas, this beautifully presented 5 star Limoux is the business without costing the 'business'.

Crémant is a group of sparkling wines made with the same technique as Champagne, but from outside the Champagne region. This article details the nine different Crémant wines of France and Luxembourg.

Crémant de Limoux is most often made from Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. Mauzac and Pinot Noir are used as blending grapes. This region has a long history of sparkling wine production. Blanquette Méthode Ancestrale and Blanquette de Limoux are two traditional sparklers made predominantly from Mauzac. The former uniquely undergoes finishing of the first fermentation in the bottle itself, without any allowed dosage or disgorgement of the spent yeast cells." Wine Folly

"Yellow-gold colour with green tints, bubbles are tiny and long-lasting. The nose is fresh and vivid with a mix of white flowers, white fleshed fruits and citrus fruits aromas. Then, the wine develops notes of hazelnut and a subtle toasted. The attack is frank with a nice unctuousness. This wine is powerful, well-balanced with toasted notes on the finish." Winery

"Beautifully styled and expressed, the bouquet shows nectarine, fig, lemon zest and oatmeal nuances, followed by a finely flowing palate that's creamy and soothing. Splendidly framed by refreshing acidity, making it comforting and fabulously drinkable." 5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2024 (NV)
