2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A flagship cuvée from Maison Antech, animated by a fine effervescence. Quality Limoux for the table and small budgets".
"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).

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.
