La Blanquette de Limoux is an iconic sparkling wine from the Limoux region, located south of Carcassonne. Protected by an AOC, it reflects a centuries-old winemaking tradition. This wine is primarily made from local grape varieties such as Mauzac, Chenin, and Chardonnay, which thrive in the unique terroir of the region.
The harvest marks the end of the season and is crucial for the wine's quality. The grapes, carefully hand-picked, reach their full ripeness, promising an exceptional wine. The Antech family, renowned for their winemaking expertise, has been perfecting methods that combine tradition and innovation for seven generations. Their sustainable approach ensures consistently high-quality cuvées.
The estate, led by Françoise Antech, uses two production methods: the traditional method, used for the majority of Blanquettes, and the ancestral method, which preserves the wine's original character. This diversity of techniques adds richness and complexity to their cuvées.
Each vintage is a new opportunity to discover the treasures of Limoux. When you taste Blanquette de Limoux, you're savoring a wine that carries the history and passion of its winemakers.
To celebrate this tradition, at L'Écrin de la Cité, we are offering you an exceptional gift: a set of two bottles of Antech Blanquette, a true pleasure to share.
