History
Located along the route from the walled city of Carcassonne to the Pyrenees, the Limoux region is set in the heart of Cathar country and is home to one of Frances oldest wine areas. The cradle of fine wines and famous specialities, including Crmant de Limoux, this bountiful region is the birthplace of the first ever sparkling wine.

Vinification Details
Crmant de Limoux is made using the 'traditional method.' During pressing of the grapes, the first juice is collected to make the prestige or tte de cuve. The wines are then blended and a second fermentation in the bottle is produced by adding the tirage liqueur. Whilst the wines spend nine months on the lees, the secondary bottle fermentation occurs. After nine months, the neck of the bottle is frozen to expel the trapped sediment. Each bottle then spends another two months in the cellar.
