Tasting Notes
A refined and expressive Crémant de Limoux, crafted using the traditional method and aged in-bottle for a minimum of 12 months. It presents a vibrant yellow-gold hue with green tints and fine, lingering bubbles.
On the nose, enjoy delicate aromas of white flowers, green apple, peach, and citrus fruits, complemented by hints of elderflower and acacia honey.
The palate is lively and well-structured, offering mouth-watering acidity and a creamy texture. Expect layers of zesty citrus, crisp green apple, toasted hazelnut, and honey, leading to a long, dry, and complex finish.
Critics’ Reviews
"This characterful, bottle-fermented fizz is a blend of Chardonnay, Mauzac, and Chenin Blanc. Lively and medium-bodied, with citrusy, lightly toasted flavors that show good intensity and complexity, and a crisp, dry, sustained finish." — Michael Cooper, The Listener, Aug 2019
"A delicious sparkling with delicate bubbles, zesty mouth-watering acidity, and a hint of sweetness. Notes of elderflower, acacia honey, and soft toasted hazelnut accompany flavors of green apple and citrus. A superb apéritif but also a gourmet food pairing choice—excellent with salmon, prawns, or fresh fish dishes." — Decanter Magazine, Jul 2020
