Terroir
The Limoux wine region is at the western most point of the Languedoc and is located just south of the medieval city of Carcassonne. It has a unique geoclimate, a situation due to the dual influences of the Atlantic which brings cool and wet weather and the Mediterranean which delivers hot and dry conditions. Clay and limestone.
Vineyard
The vines, which are planted in chalky soils at elevations ranging from 200 to 600 meters, are worked traditionally without herbicides or fertilizers. The Cremant is produced only from the best parcels. The yields in the vineyard are limited to 40 hectoliters per hectare and harvesting is done by hand.
Vinification
The Cremant is produced using the Methode Traditionnelle (Champenoise) and it is aged at least 15 months on the lees before being disgorged.

Tasting Note
Pale and limpid yellow in color, with an intense and refined nose. Honey and acacia aromas join to subtle crystallized citrus fruits hints. Wonderful harmony, very good balance sugar/acidity, and a persistent length. Fine bubbles, Champagne-like elegance.
