Blanquette de Limoux has slighly less fizz than a typical bottle of sparkling, making it wonderfully soft & easy on the palate....most definately the perfect aperitif!
For over five centuries, Maison Antech has tamed the magical terroir of Limoux to make fine sparkling wines.The secret of their character lies in the combination of Limoux's three terroirs, which form the backbone of the cuvées: freshness from the Pyrenees, vinousness from the ocean, and roundness from the Mediterranean. From these terroirs, Mauzac and other grapes are cultivated, each bringing their own complexity and purity to the wines.
This Cuvee, named after Francoise, daughter of the family and a member of the sixth generation celebrates her strong character and the part she plays in guarding her heritage and shaping their future.
Expect a pale yellow colour with golden reflections and fine bubbles. The nose expresses the spring flowers and fresh apple and pear. The palate is lovely, harmonious and round.
