They began the vineyardby planting Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Chenin, and Mauzac grapes. Still very much a small familyproduction, they grew from producing approximately 600 bottles of their first vintage to producing650,000 bottles per year in their modern cellar. Their son, Nicolas, now manages the estate with ahandful of dedicated team members to assist in the production of their wines.This French sparkling wine, Cremant de Limoux, will make you think of champagne, but it’s not. Theword Crémant originated in the Champagne region. It was used to designate sparkling wines madein Champagne that were less effervescent than ‘fully sparkling’ Champagne. Since 1985 Crémantis no longer associated with Champagne when an agreement was created to end the use of theterm ‘methode champenoise’ (the method by which champagne is produced) by producers of nonChampagne sparkling wines. Champagne agreed to give up the term Crémant. Since then the wordCrémant would designate sparkling wines from other French regions made using the traditional‘second fermentation in bottle’ method.This Crémant is a blend of Pinot Noir, Chenin Blanc, and Chardonnay. A refreshing bubbly tocelebrate summer, Crémant is very balanced and fruity with notes of toast and a touch of sweetness,as well as scents of white flowers, apricot, and candy.GOURMET FOODMURACA RED PEPPER INFUSED EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OILAnother olive oil from a small producer is sure to please your palate for summertime favorites.
