Crémant de Limoux
AOC Crémant de Limoux differs from Blanquette in the way it is blended and aged.
Mainly made from Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, the blend may also include Pinot Noir and Mauzac, which together may not exceed 20% of the grape varieties.
This sparkling wine is made using the traditional method, which means that the second fermentation takes place in the bottle (just like Champagne wines). The bottles then rest on the lees for 9 months before the addition of the liqueur d'expédition, which determines the sugar content of the wine. Once the final cork has been placed, Crémants de Limoux are aged in the cellar for at least 15 months before being released for sale.
Crémant de Limoux is recognized by its pale color, very fine bubbles, white floral and citrus aromas and light toasted notes.

Antech - Crémant de Limoux Cuvée Eugénie 2021
3/5 (1 review)
2*Coup de Coeur Hachette
"All the cuvées presented were selected by the jurors, quite a feat. Among them, Eugénie, with its delicate effervescence, draped in a very pale gold color, reveals a toasty nose and honeyed white flowers. A wine that reconciles amplitude, roundness, finesse and lightness on the palate, and takes flight in an airy, very fresh finish, stretched out over white fruits. A superb achievement". (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

Pierre Tailleur de Vins - Crémant de Limoux à la Volée Brut Nature 2018
3.2/5 (5 reviews)
Here's a perfectly executed Crémant, made according to the Champenoise method, from Chardonnay/Pinot Noir with a touch of originality, and 25% Chenin. A bouquet of white flowers, subtle hints of citrus and toast define the nose. On the palate, a lovely sparkling texture delights the taste buds with elegance and subtlety. After 24 months on laths, these delicate bubbles will charm connoisseurs as an aperitif, and offer excellent value for money.

This Crémant offers admirable balance thanks to a well-mastered blend. A pleasant, charming bubble exuding the aromas of Chardonnay (50%), the freshness of Chenin (40%) and the vinosity of Pinot Noir (10%).
Domaine Les Hautes Terres - Joséphine
2.5/5 (2 reviews)
15,5/20 RVF
"Tasty, brioche-like, with a hint of lemon zest, this is undeniably one of Limouxin's finest bubbles. Very invigorating, straightforward in its natural brut balance, the palate settles into a fine effervescence." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2017 - RVF) Aged on laths for 24 months, with no dosage, this Crémant de Limoux is a light golden color, with notes of white flowers and verbena on the nose. Its fine, refined bubbles are long-lasting, giving a smooth, tasty wine of great purity... Enjoy as an aperitif, or with delicate dishes (oysters, scallops)...
