Françoise Cuvée Crémant de Limoux - 750ml

Cuvée Françoise, a sparkling wine from Limoux, France, embodies the region’s classic method and character. It is composed of 90% Mauzac and 10% Chardonnay, crafted using la méthode champenoise. After spending nine months on the lees, this vibrant bubbly is disgorged, yielding a fresh bouquet of green apples, Comice pear, and delicate white flowers. The Françoise Antech Gazeau is produced by Françoise Antech, who aims to reveal the perfect balance between freshness, achieved by the cool, high-altitude site, and complexity gained through aging on lees. The vineyard sources include old-vine parcels planted both along the Mediterranean-facing slopes and on the higher altitude sites of Limoux, which together express a wide range of fruit and mineral nuances. The result is a wine with a bright, crisp palate, subtle brioche aromas, and a lingering finish that highlights structure without heaviness. This cuvée showcases the region’s hallmark balance: a refined mousse, precise acidity, and a harmony between youthful fruit and developed complexity. A true expression of Limoux’s Crémant-style identity, it pairs beautifully with shellfish, mild cheeses, and asparagus, or can be enjoyed on its own to celebrate any occasion. For best enjoyment, serve well-chilled and allow a moment for the nose to unfurl.
