"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".
