Antech
This family-run winery dates back to the late 19th century. Today, the sixth generation, led by Françoise Antech, continues the legacy centered around the famous Limoux sparkling wine. The Antech winery in Limoux benefits from a magical terroir largely dedicated to the production of fine sparkling wines. Located facing the Pyrenees, the proximity of the mountains and the altitude (400 m) provide great freshness; Mediterranean and oceanic influences, on the one hand and the other, add character; and the south-facing hillside exposure on stony soils ensures the right level of ripeness and the full expression of the terroir. Since 2013, Antech has been committed to the Terra Vitis program for sustainable and responsible viticulture.
In keeping with regional tradition , Antech produces almost exclusively sparkling wines under the appellations: Crémant de Limoux, Blanquette de Limoux, and Blanquette Méthode Ancestrale, respecting the region’s traditions. The grape varieties used adhere to the Limoux recipe: Mauzac, Chenin, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir. A collection of fine sparkling wines crafted in the pure Limoux tradition.
Led by Françoise Antech with pride and conviction, the house has set out to revive Mauzac with its latest range: M le Mauzac. This purely Occitan native grape variety is on the verge of disappearing from the vineyards, replaced by Chardonnay or Chenin. This range breathes new life and modernity into the Blanquette de Limoux appellation, in the hope of ensuring the survival of this Languedoc grape variety.
