2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"A fine tribute to Roger Antech, who passed away at the end of 2015, this blanquette stands out from the crowd. Pale yellow with fine mousse, it charms with a complex nose of rare intensity, made up of hawthorn and white-fleshed fruit. The ample, well-balanced palate confirms the olfactory impression, with great power and length". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Françoise Antech-Gazeau is the masterful head of this successful trading house, which has made sparkling wines its specialty for six generations. Nearly a million bottles are produced each year. A wide range of very consistent, high-quality wines, with a clear focus on purity, minerality and balanced freshness. The mauzac-based cuvée M30 impressed us with its formidable aperitif capacity.
