NV Maison Antech Cremant de Limoux Cuvee Francoise Rose

For over five centuries, Maison Antech has crafted fine sparkling wines from Limoux’s distinctive terroirs: Pyrenean freshness, Atlantic vinosity and Mediterranean roundness. Mauzac and other local varieties bring complexity and purity. Named after Francoise, a sixth-generation family member, this cuvée honours her character and role in shaping the domaine’s future.

Since 2013, Antech has produced high-quality, authentic sparkling wines guided by the Terra Vitis sustainability philosophy. Their careful approach to viticulture includes recovering waste, reducing energy use and partnering with like-minded sustainable suppliers throughout production.

Hand-harvested grapes are pressed immediately, with only the best juice fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Following blending and second fermentation, the wine rests sur lattes for 18 months to gain complexity and character.

TASTING NOTE: A delicately pink Crémant de Limoux with bright fruit and integrated bubbles. The nose opens up to a bouquet of red summer berries and cherry blossom, which follows through on the palate, finishing with juicy strawberry fruit and clean acidity.
