This crémant from the south of France promises plenty of finesse and elegance thanks to fine grapes of the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties, which are also typical of champagne, and extensive ageing on the yeasts. The traditional bottle fermentation method is used.
The Domaine Delmas winery feels like it is at the end of the wine world. From Limoux, you drive uphill and southwards to the coolest vineyards in the appellation. Here in the small village of Antugnac, Bernard has built a cellar worth seeing, in which he produces his fine sparkling wines and sparkling wines. In terms of quality, the difference to champagne is much smaller than the price difference might suggest.

"Crémant" is a term for French sparkling wine produced outside the Champagne region. Limoux refers to the growing area in the Languedoc wine-growing region. Limoux is located in the Occitanie region, which has a long tradition of sparkling wine production. Sparkling wines from this region are characterised by their fruity character and are usually blended from the Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Mauzac and Pinot Noir grape varieties.
"Brut" refers to the sugar content of the wine and means that the Crémant de Limoux is dry, with a low residual sugar content. This gives the wine a pleasant freshness and lively acidity.
Crémant is a popular choice for lovers of quality sparkling wines who are looking for an alternative to Champagne.
