The wine region of Crémant de Limoux
Flagship Languedoc sparkling AOC (1990) in traditional method: signature blend of Chardonnay and Chenin (≤90%, Chenin 20-40%) complemented by Mauzac Blanc and Pinot Noir in white and rosé — fine, persistent bubbles, pale robe with green hints, signature aromas of apple, brioche, hazelnut from Chardonnay, red fruits from Pinot, chiselled freshness and minerality. 15-month minimum lees ageing, finesse compared to 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: Filling
Gentle transfer from one barrel to another to oxygenate the wine, eliminate some of the lees and reduce the carbon dioxide (fizz) that was released during the fermentations.
