Delicious bubbly from Limoux, where it seems they have been making sparkling wine longer than Champagne.

The Monastery where Bubbly production all began around 500 years ago. Primarily Mauzac with small amounts of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc blended in. Medium gold color. Aromas of orchard and citrus fruit with hints of white flowers and raw nuts. Flavors of juicy green apples and pears, granite dust and lemon zest. Slight vegetal note on the long palate cleansing finish. Plenty of bubbles but not in a steady stream. Creamy mousse that does dissipate rather quickly. Medium body and texture. Quite lively! Excellent QPR! Love the history.

I’m not much for sparking wines but it felt like “the thing to do” for new years! I got it on sale for $15 and it was money well spent! Dry, crisp and tasty!
