"Rediscover this flagship appellation of the region, with fine, fresh bubbles, featuring Mauzac!"
"Everything's good here, there's nothing to throw away" could be the motto of this Limoux house! If the jurors gave a slight preference to this Réserve, it's for the quality of its bubbles, its freshness, the tonicity of its fruit and its little bitterness on the finish, which refreshes and convinces".

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.
