Description: This Crémant de Limoux Brut Nature is a refined sparkling wine from southern France made using the traditional méthode champenoise. It’s crafted from a blend of 60% Chardonnay, 30% Chenin Blanc, and 10% Pinot Noir grapes, all carefully hand-harvested.
After primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle to develop fine, persistent bubbles, with no added dosage (sugar), resulting in a very dry “Brut Nature” style. The wine shows a pale straw color with fine bubbles, offering fresh aromas of green apple, citrus zest, white flowers, and hints of brioche.
On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with vibrant acidity, delicate fruit flavors, a creamy mousse, and a clean, mineral-driven finish—perfect for aperitifs or pairing with light dishes.
