Antech - Crémant de Limoux Cuvée Eugénie 2021
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A flagship wine from Maison Antech, with a delicate effervescence. A high-quality Limoux perfect for the table and for those on a budget."
“All the vintages presented were selected by the judges—quite an achievement. Among them, Eugénie, with its delicate effervescence and very pale golden hue, reveals a toasty nose with notes of honeyed white flowers. A wine that combines fullness, roundness, finesse, and lightness on the palate, and that soars into an airy, very fresh finish, lingering on notes of white fruit. A superb achievement.” (Le Guide Hachette 2024).

Rated estate (2024 guide): 2* Stars (A solid, recommendable production, 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 one million bottles leave the cellars each year. A broad and highly consistent range of wines, of a high standard, with a clear focus on purity, minerality, and balance centered on freshness. The M30 cuvée, made from Mauzac grapes, impressed us with its remarkable ability to serve as an aperitif.
