2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"A standout in the previous vintage with its 2014 Tradition cuvée, Antech is just as impressive this year with this crystalline Grande Réserve, featuring fine, abundant bubbles. On the nose, fresh apple blends with mirabelle plum and white flowers, complemented by a hint of minerality. This aromatic complexity is reflected in a palate that is all finesse and elegance, full of freshness and liveliness.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins de France 2018)

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 leads 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, 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 outstanding ability to serve as an aperitif.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Posted on 12/31/2017

Beautiful, fine bubbles accompany a fresh, fruity aroma of apple followed by white fruits. The palate is savory and long-lasting without being overpowering. It’s very well made.
