About the wine
Seriously elegant bubbles from the Limoux region
- Small-scale artisan winemakers in France are going through their toughest year in living memory. These guys rely on bars and restaurants, wine fairs and tourism to sell their wines, so they’ve really struggled. Millions of bottles of wine are stuck in cellars, going nowhere.
- With bills mounting, and the need to clear space for this year’s vintage, many winemakers are resorting to selling their wines in bulk to the government for a pittance, to turn them into hand sanitiser. That’s why we’ve decided to help.
- Seriously elegant bubbles from the Limoux region made with their native grape Mauzac. Mouthwateringly fresh and balanced, with ripe citrus fruits and a toasty finish. The perfect aperitif.

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.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Francoise & Baptiste Gazeau
- Françoise and Baptiste grew up in Limoux, a small town in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains. Both born into winemaking families and growing up with, the hustle and bustle of a busy harvest comes second nature to them.
- After both leaving Limoux after finishing school - Françoise to work for L'Oréal in Paris, and Baptiste to travel the world - both were inevitably drawn back to the vineyards of their childhoods.
- They're a pair of some serious pedigree - Françoise is a seasoned pro who made her first vintage back in '96, and Baptiste has travelled the winemaking world over, visiting over 800 estates in 25 countries, tasting around 10, 000 wines in the process. Together they make fabulous, traditional Mauzac wines, made exclusively in Limoux.
