Delightful mousse with a beautiful golden colour. On the palate the aromas of pastry, honey and fresh fruits in perfect harmony. A gastronomic sparkling wine - soft and full, powerful and long on the finish. It’s delicious throughout a meal of asian cuisine such as sushis or tempura or with lighter meat dishes.

Located in the small village called La Digne d'Aval, less than 5 kilometres from Limoux in the Languedoc. They produce only sparkling wines in the appellation of Blanquette and Crémant de Limoux on more than 40 hectares.

Jacques Calvel, who was an entrepreneur in Switzerland but a native of Limoux, returned to the region in 2002 when the opportunity arose to take over the estate. With a commitment to quality from the start, he has become recognised as one of the top producers in Limoux with a splendid range of Blanquette and Crémant de Limoux.

Chardonnay (60%)

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.

Chenin Blanc (25%)

Pinot Noir (15%)

Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most revered and expressive grape varieties, prized for its elegance, complexity, and ability to reflect terroir like no other. Native to Burgundy, it thrives in cool to moderate climates and is notoriously thin-skinned and finicky to grow, requiring careful vineyard management. In the glass, Pinot Noir typically offers delicate aromas of red berries—such as cherry, raspberry, and strawberry—alongside floral notes, forest floor, and subtle spice. Its light to medium body, gentle tannins, and bright acidity make it both graceful and food-friendly. Whether from the limestone slopes of Burgundy, the coastal vineyards of California, the hills of Oregon, or New Zealand’s Central Otago, Pinot Noir captivates with its finesse, transparency, and the ability to age gracefully, making it a favourite among both winemakers and wine lovers alike.
