Sparkling dry
This pink sparkling wine is a Crémant de Limoux of the highest quality, produced using the traditional method (Méthode Traditionnelle), the same as renowned Champagne. The wine originates from the Limoux region in Southern France, considered the first region for sparkling wine in the country.
The aromas reveal a subtle elegance, harmoniously blending nuances of strawberry, cherry, grapefruit, and white flowers. On the palate, a gentle and refreshing acidity along with a pleasant creamy texture perfectly complements the fruity and long-lasting finish.
The Antech family, cultivating the traditions of Crémant de Limoux production for six generations, is one of the most renowned producers in the region. Currently, the estate is successfully managed by brothers Georges and Roger Antech, and Georges' daughter Francoise Antech-Gazeau, recognized as one of the most talented female winemakers in France. Their passion and experience ensure the highest quality of the wine.
This Cuvée Eugénie is meticulously crafted from four grape varieties: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Mauzac, and Pinot Noir. The wine is aged on its lees for 18 months.
Serve at 6-8 °C as an aperitif, with seafood, sashimi or Thai cuisine, light salads or refreshing desserts with red berries.
Antech, based in the Limoux appellation in Languedoc, entered the world of sparkling wine after 1931, when Edmond Antech joined the family business through marriage. Over the past decades, the estate has steadily strengthened its position by focusing exclusively on sparkling-wine production across three appellations: Crémant de Limoux, Blanquette de Limoux, and Blanquette Méthode Ancestrale. Today, the winery is led by sixth-generation family member Françoise Antech, who draws on tradition alongside modern, innovative solutions to reveal the unique terroir and history of the Limoux region.
Wine style
Antech sparkling wines are defined by refined freshness, a full texture, and a complex aromatic profile that reflects the character of Limoux.
Crémant de Limoux – produced by the traditional method, with Chardonnay typically in the lead, blended with Chenin Blanc and the local Mauzac, lending elegance and vibrant freshness.
Blanquette de Limoux – regarded as one of the oldest sparkling wines in the world; it is built predominantly (90%) on Mauzac, with the remainder coming from Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay, shaping its distinctive style.
Blanquette Méthode Ancestrale – a rare, naturally sweet sparkling wine made in the ancestral method exclusively from late-harvest Mauzac, offering fruity expression and natural sweetness.
Prestige vineyards
The estate farms around 60 hectares of vineyards planted with Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and Mauzac—the essential varieties for high-quality sparkling production. As its own fruit is not sufficient for total production needs, Antech has also established long-term grape-supply agreements with 35 local growers, ensuring consistent quality and reliable sourcing.
Ageing and drinking window
The structure of Antech’s sparkling wines makes them immediately enjoyable, with an outstanding balance of freshness and an elegant aromatic composition. At the same time, their complexity gives them the potential to evolve further with time, gaining even greater depth and more pronounced character as they mature.
