aperitif

Rediscover this flagship appellation of the region, with its fine, fresh bubbles, showcasing the Mauzac grape variety!

"Everything about it is good, there's nothing to throw away" could be the motto of this Limoux winery! The judges gave this Reserve a slight preference for the quality of its bubbles, its freshness, the vibrancy of its fruit, and its slight bitterness on the finish, which adds a refreshing touch and wins you over.

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.
