The Story
Gérard Bertrand An 825 Crémant de Limoux Brut is a vibrant, elegant, and finely crafted French sparkling wine that pays tribute to the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire, where monks first discovered the secret of effervescent wines in 825 AD. Pouring a beautiful pale golden yellow with a delicate, persistent bead, it opens with a complex and highly aromatic bouquet of fresh white flowers, crisp green apple, and subtle hints of honey and toasted brioche. On the palate, it is crisp, refined, and beautifully balanced, delivering a lively core of orchard fruits enhanced by a refreshing mineral salinity. Driven by a bright, natural acidity and the creamy, fine texture of its bubbles, this traditional method blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Mauzac culminates in a clean, elegant, and highly satisfying finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with fresh goat cheese, lightly seared scallops, creamy brie, fresh raw oysters, and delicate fruit-based desserts.
