The wine region of Limoux

Limoux is a relatively New appellation (created in 2003) in the eastern Part of the Aude region of Southern France, which applies to both red and white wines. The vineyards extend around the town that gave it its name, in the foothills of the Pyrenees east of the Languedoc-Roussillon/corbieres">Corbières and south of Carcassonne. Historically, this region is best known for its Sparkling wines, which are produced and sold under the appellations of Blanquette de Limoux and Crémant de Limoux. The vineyards here are higher and cooler than those of any other appellation in the Languedoc-Roussillon, and also further away from the moderating temperature influences of the Mediterranean.
