An intense and complex nose of citrus and dried fruits, hints of honey with a touch of green apple. The palate is a full expression of those aromas, well-rounded, subtle notes of toast with an after taste of fresh fruits and lime. Ideal as aperitif with tapas or seafood.

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.
