Maison Antech, Cremant De Limoux, Cuvee Francoise, Languedoc, France
French Sparkling Brut
£19.95
White flower aromas combine with a hint of lemon curd, giving the wine a fresh, vibrant appeal. These are reflected on the palate with an additional mineral character, finely structured acidity, and persistent bubbles elevating the components.
Grapes are handpicked and go directly into the press. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats. The various parcels are then blended, and the wine goes into bottle for secondary fermentation, where it ages on the lees for at least 30 months.
Perfect as an aperitif or to accompany pan-fried white fish and with sufficient acidity to cut through creamy sauces.
