Antech - Blanquette de Limoux Tradition Brut
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“A beautiful tribute to Roger Antech, who passed away in late 2015, this Blanquette truly stands out. Pale yellow in color with a fine effervescence, it charms with its complex nose of rare intensity, featuring notes 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 solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Françoise Antech-Gazeau masterfully runs this successful wine merchant, which has specialized in sparkling wines for six generations. Nearly a million bottles leave the cellars each year. A broad and consistent range of wines, all of high quality, with a clear focus on purity, minerality, and a fresh, balanced profile. The M30 cuvée, made from Mauzac, impressed us with its wonderful ability to serve as an aperitif.
