Blanquette de Limoux Charme du Soleil Brut

Limoux in France is famous for the production of quality sparkling wines made by the same laborious method as Champagne. In fact they claim to have invented Methode Champenoise. Henri Guilheim, in his book 'Le Blanquette de Limoux' published in 1951 in Paris refers to a text dating back to 1531 which refers to 'flasks of Blanquette from St Hilaire' It is even said that a certain Dom Perignon, attorney cellarer from Hautevilliers near Epernay in the champagne region, went to the Abbey of Saint Hilaire a century later to take lessons in vinification from his Benedictine brothers. We offer this sparkler as an ideal alternative at a much lower price. Produced from 100% Mauzac without chemical fertilisers.
