Blanquette de Limoux Cuvee Francoise Brut - Antech 2023

Elegant in its proportions and pleasant on the first sip, it shows fine bubbles that support a slender, luminous texture. On the nose there are notes of white-fleshed fruit and small flowers, with a hint of bread crust and yeast that adds pleasant complexity without weighing it down.

On the palate it is fresh and sapid, the acidity is lively but well integrated into the structure, delivering a smooth, easy-drinking sip with good persistence; the finish maintains a slightly citrus note that invites another taste. It is excellent as an aperitif but also stands up to light dishes of shellfish, steamed fish and fresh cheeses; it works well with lightly fried preparations thanks to its liveliness. Serve cold, around 6-8 °C, to fully appreciate the fineness of the bubbles and the balance between freshness and sapidity. A versatile choice to accompany informal moments as well as small toasts.
