The Blanquette de Limoux AOC Brut Vergnes is an elegant expression of sparkling wine from the historic wine-producing area of Limoux, in the heart of southern Languedoc. Made mainly from the Mauzac grape variety, with possible additions of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc, this bubbly enchants with its lively freshness and the refined finesse of the bubbles. The traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle gives this wine a delicate aromatic complexity, dominated by notes of green apple, fresh yeast, and a pleasant floral hint.



Its profile is characterized by a savory balance and good acidity, making it ideal as an aperitif or paired with dishes based on light fish, shellfish, and seafood. The Blanquette de Limoux Brut Vergnes celebrates the ancient sparkling wine tradition of the region, gracefully and vividly interpreting the territory that produces it.

Winery history
The brand is linked to the winemaking tradition of the Limoux area: the vineyards and the Martinolles estate were owned by the Vergnes family for much of the 20th century, and in 2011 ownership passed to Jean-Claude Mas / Domaines Paul Mas. Maison Vergnes is now used as a private label for wines and sparkling wines produced in the vineyards of that area.
Production philosophy
Production focused on the characteristic sparkling wines of Limoux and on wines prized for their freshness and drinkability; commercial messaging highlights viticultural practices attentive to the territory and traditional winemaking.
Terroir and vineyards
Limoux area in southern France, a hilly zone with clay-limestone soils and elevations around 200–600 m; climate influenced both by the Mediterranean and by cooler air currents, which favors the production of sparkling wines in the Limoux/Blanquette de Limoux/Cremant de Limoux appellation.
