A lightly steely, delicate nose leads onto a frothy, foamy palate which balances ripe yellow apple and nutty tones with an intriguing waxy note. The finish is tangy in taste but soft in texture. A fairly simple but individual fizz that ticks the mid-week sparkler box. The grapes, of which 90% are the region's flagship Mauzac, were harvested by hand, and the wine has had at least 24 months on lees - considerably more than the designated nine month minimum. Winemaker Françoise Antech-Gazeau, who plays an active role in the region's both social and winemaking communities, has been joined by her son Baptiste, who now represents the seventh generation to make wine at this large, well-known but good quality fizz producer in Limoux.
