Putojantis sausas
Traditional method. Exclusively hand-picked with immediate pneumatic pressing. Initial fermentation takes place in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. After assemblage a second fermentaion takes place in bottle. The wines are 'forgotten' in the cellars for 5 years. Then this Grande Cuvée is finally revealed - showing incredible freshness and great delicacy. Dosage - 5 g/l.
The wine is rich and complex with a beautiful golden colour with fine and very delicate bubbles. Rich caramel tones interwoven with crystalised fruit with fine vanilla and a whiff of gingerbread on the nose. The palate is delightfully youthful with accompanying citrus notes with orange oil and zest. A remarkable and truly special Cremant de Limoux.
Serve at 7-8 °C with white meat, fish, seafood or as an aperitif.
Orange blossom and hawthorn flowers on the nose. Orange peel. Delicate cobweb of smokiness that one can barely perceive through the purity of the fruit. Citron notes, lemon zest. There is fleeting richness and a sense of breadth without being a broad wine – it reminds me of panettone, both on the nose and on the palate. Very clearly more complexity and substance than the other two Antech wines, but it retains that very special, filigree-fine yet scalpel-precise Limoux acidity. The finish tingles and turns deliciously sweet and sour, like sucking on candied lime peel.
Antech, an independent family domain for 6 generations, is specialized in the elaboration of sparkling wines in the Crémant de Limoux appellation, near Carcassonne in the south of France.
