1*Étoile
Hachette
"Rediscover this region's flagship wine, with its fine, crisp bubbles, showcasing the Mauzac grape!"
“Everything about it is good—there’s nothing to throw away”—that could be the motto of this Limoux producer! If the judges gave this Réserve a slight edge, it was because of 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 really wins you over.” (Le Guide Hachette 2024)
