About the wine
Seriously elegant bubbles from the Limoux region
- A totally unique region, Limoux sits in the foothills of the Pyrenees. This is where Francoise and Baptiste's family have been making premium sparkling wines for 6 generations, nurturing the indigenous Mauzac grapes to make stunning sparkling wines. As you can imagine, this means they've now got their winemaking process honed down to a fine art - from the picking all the way to fermentation.
- Made using the traditional method of fermentation (which is exactly the same method used to make Champagne), you can expect a pretty classy bottle of bubbles. It's also been aged to perfection over a luxurious 24 months, so it has oomf a'plenty and the kind of balance only ageing can provide.
- A light lemony yellow, this is a ultra fresh bottle of delicate bubbles that has a fantastically long finish, offering up flavours of dry fruit and just a warming toasty hint of fresh bread.

Serving advice
Serve thoroughly chilled at 7-8°C
Food match
It goes perfectly well with asian food, grilled fish or chicken, but my recommendation would be to drink it on its own as an aperitif.
