2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"A beautiful tribute to Roger Antech, who passed away at the end of 2015, this blanquette stands out from the crowd. Pale yellow in color with a fine mousse, it charms with its complex nose and rare intensity, made up of hawthorn and white-fleshed fruits. The full-bodied and well-balanced palate confirms the nose with great power and length." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Françoise Antech-Gazeau masterfully manages this successful wine merchant, which has specialized in sparkling wines for six generations. Nearly a million bottles leave the cellars each year. A wide range of very consistent wines of high quality, with a clear focus on purity, minerality, and freshness. The M30 cuvée, made from Mauzac grapes, impressed us with its wonderful aperitif qualities.
