The wine region of Blanquette méthode ancestrale
France's oldest sparkling AOC, from the Limoux country of Aude (AOC 1938). Natural ancestral method with no liqueur de tirage: partial fermentation then bottled in March on a descending moon, in-bottle secondary fermentation at 6–7°C. Mauzac (100%) is the sole grape — unique honey, acacia and stewed apple aromas, natural residual sweetness, fine bubbles and preserved freshness. The ancestral forerunner of Champagne.
The wine region of Languedoc-Roussillon
Largest single French vineyard, dominated by sunny, generous reds. Spicy Syrah, candied Grenache (ripe fruit, garrigue), structured Carignan, deep Mourvèdre, supple Cinsault. Stars: structured Corbières, Minervois, Faugères, Saint-Chinian; round Côtes-du-Roussillon. Legendary vins doux naturels: Banyuls and Maury (fortified Grenache) with notes of cocoa, fig, prune.
The word of the wine: Breeding
It can last for several years. The bottles are stacked in the cellars and waited for the light and heat. The yeasts gradually give the wine compounds that enrich it. A long maturation is a guarantee of quality.
