Gérard Bertrand An 825 Cremant de Limoux Brut 2023

Limoux, Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceAn 825 refers to the first written record (825 AD) of the Abbey of Saint‑Hilaire near Limoux, where monks are credited with discovering sparkling wine. The 2023 Cremant is a blend of chenin blanc, chardonnay, pinot noir, and mauzac. It is a delightfully fresh sparkler made in the traditional method. The colour is pale gold, the nose is open and full of white flowers, honey, green apples, and toasted bread. While nosing this sparkler is highly satisfying, sipping its crisp, elegant, lively, mineral salinity is even better. It is ready to drink, but you might need an extra bottle to refill those quickly emptying glasses. Fine value.Tasted: 06 March 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
