It’s a little more expensive than supermarket options but the additional quality does show: this is a superbly sleek and classy sparkling wine. Taut and tangy, the base is chardonnay (70 per cent) with chenin blanc and the local mauzac providing notes of apple.

Victoria Moore, Wine Correspondent, The Telegraph

Crémant de Limoux is one of the many French traditional method sparkling wine regions outside Champagne. The warmer climate in the south of France contributes to slightly softer acidity than its more famous, northern cousin, making this perfect as a standalone apéritif. A blend of 70% Chardonnay, with 15% each of Chenin Blanc and the local grape Mauzac, this has been aged on its lees in bottle to add complexity.

Tasting note

This delicious sparkling wine shows elegant aromas of orchard fruit and honeyed spice. Aged traditionally and generously on its lees, it shows more exotic fruits on the palate with a clean, pebbly backdrop and an impressive depth of flavour.

About this wine

Limoux

In southern France's Occitanie region, Limoux has a storied role in sparkling wine history predating Champagne. The famous Blanquette de Limoux, an early sparkling wine, uses traditional bottle fermentation with Mauzac, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc grapes. Limoux also produces Crémant de Limoux and still wines, including whites (Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc) and reds (Bordeaux varietals, local grapes).
