Another way to say I love you. Two Crémant wines, aged eighteen months in one of the oldest sparkling regions in France.

Brut & Rosé

Two bottles

Brut or Rosé

One is crisp and mineral, the other is red-fruited and soft. Both are made by the traditional method and rested eighteen months on the lees.

Since 1531, in Limoux

Some of the first sparkling wine was made here, by accident.

Benedictine monks in Limoux were bottling wine a century before Champagne had a name for it. We make ours the same way they did, a second fermentation in the bottle, eighteen months of patience, no shortcuts.

Second fermentation in this bottle, not a tank. The same process as Champagne.

Where the bread-and-almond character and the fine bead come from.

Questions

Where do you ship?

We ship direct to consumers in the states where wine shipping is permitted. If we can’t reach yours, the Where to Buy page lists shops that carry us.

Does someone need to be home to sign?

Yes. Federal and state law requires an adult 21 or over to sign for any wine delivery. Nobody under 21 can accept the parcel.

What is the difference between the Brut and the Rosé?

The Brut is Chardonnay-led and bone dry; green apple, white blossom and brioche, with a chalky finish. The Rosé is softer and red-fruited, with wild strawberry, raspberry and fresh citrus.

What does méthode traditionnelle mean?

The second fermentation happens inside the bottle you buy, rather than in a pressurised tank. It is the same process used in Champagne, and it is what gives the wine its fine, persistent bead. Ours rests eighteen months on the lees.

How should I store and serve it?

Store on its side somewhere cool and dark. Serve at 8–10°C , roughly three hours in the fridge, or twenty minutes in an ice bucket.
