“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 for the quality of its bubbles, its freshness, the vibrancy of its fruit, and its subtle finish that provides a refreshing touch and wins you over.” (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

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.
