The principal difference between Blanquette and Cremant de Limoux is in the proportion of Mauzac which has to be in the blend—more for the Blanquette. Which is why this wine has 90% Mauzac, more spice than fruit, and finishes with flavors of grilled almonds.

The locals in Limoux say they created the method of secondary fermentation of a wine in bottle even before the guys up in Champagne. Maybe, but this blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Mauzac is deliciously easy and fresh, and cheaper than any Champagne. Flavors of apples and cream dominate a fine celebratory aperitif wine, which comes from the top cooperative of the region.

This light-bodied sparkler from the south of France is clean and refreshing because of its lightness, rather than any great crispness. Delicate toast scents accent mushroom, apple and pear flavors.

With the local Mauzac grape as the predominant variety in this blend, there are aromas of white flowers and grapefruit. To taste, it is spicy, with toast and honey and some fresh acidity. A fine, balanced wine.

The Toques et Clochers is the special selection of top wines made each year by the Sieur d’Arques cooperative. This deliciously mature blend, dominated by Chardonnay, is big and full, with toast, butter and long-lasting fruit flavors. It’s a food style of wine, rich and complex. Imported by Wine Symphony.
