"Confoundingly fresh, with notes of green apple and lime. The finish is tender and surprisingly chalky for this clay-limestone cuvée. The whole is invigorating and very refreshing, perfect as an aperitif." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane+Desseauve 2022) The sublimated expression of Mauzac in a unique process: zero added sugar during fermentation, bottling and dosage!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated wine (guide 2022) 91/100

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

About the wine:

Confoundingly fresh, with notes of green apple and lime. The finish is tender and surprisingly chalky for this clay-limestone cuvée. The whole is invigorating and very refreshing, perfect as an aperitif.

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.

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Very successful wine)

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the wine:

A sparkling color, a fine string of bubbles, an energetic, gourmand nose of pear and apple, the opening is a good omen. Crisp, voluble, full-bodied, long and lively on the finish, the palate does not disappoint.

About the domain :

A vineyard owner, a family business for six generations, now run by Françoise Antech, following in the footsteps of her father Georges and uncle Roger. A sure bet, specializing in Limoux bubbles.

Rated wine (guide 2022) 90/100

About the wine:

A white-fruit approach to this effervescent with a creamy consistency and fine bubbles. A sure value!

Wine Enthusiast

Rated wine (guide 2021) 90/100

About the wine:

Fresh aromas of orange blossom, lemon leaf and green pear lead the nose of this pale straw-colored cuvée. A light cuvée but well-balanced by ample acidity on the palate, with additional notes of pear skin and melon rind that carry through to the finish. A well-balanced cuvée to enjoy now.

Jancis Robinson

Wine rated (2020 guide) 16/20

About the wine:

Scents of ripe pears and cut herbs. Fine, light bubbles. The acidity gives the wine great tension. Reine-Claude and lime with a very herbaceous chard - chervil and tarragon. Crisp and concentrated, already delicate. Superb balance, subtle yet neither flabby nor hard.
