Vintage: NV Colour: White Style: Dry
Producer: Maison Antech
Description:
For over five centuries, Maison Antech has tamed the magical terroir of Limoux to make fine sparkling wines.
The secret of their character lies in the combination of Limoux's three terroirs, which form the backbone of the cuvées: freshness from the Pyrenees, vinousness from the ocean, and roundness from the Mediterranean. From these terroirs, Mauzac and other grapes are cultivated, each bringing their own complexity and purity to the wines. This Cuvee, named after Francoise, daughter of the family and a member of the sixth generation celebrates her strong character and the part she plays in guarding her heritage and shaping their future.
Tasting Note: Vibrant greengage and 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.
Food Match: Perfect as an aperitif or to accompany pan-fried white fish and with sufficient acidity to cut through creamy sauces.
