Blanquette de Limoux

Blanquette de Limoux claims to be the world's first sparkling wine, with records dating to 1531 at the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire — a fascinating, high-altitude Languedoc appellation where Mauzac, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay produce sparkling wines of real historical character and excellent quality at a fraction of Champagne prices. Wines Direct sources Blanquette de Limoux from quality-focused independent producers who honour this extraordinary and ancient sparkling wine tradition.
