According to legend, Blanquette de Limoux was the first sparkling wine created in the world. These wines were marketed several centuries before the famous sparkling champagnes.
Here, the limestone terrain around the town of Limoux is ideal for the growth of white wines. In addition, the climate in the foothills of the Pyrenees is slightly cooler than the other regions of the Languedoc and protected from Mediterranean influences.
The relatively recent AOP Crémant de Limoux appellation is less restrictive than that of Blanquette. It thus offers greater creative freedom to wine producers. Crémants must always use Mauzac, but only between 10 and 20% of the total mass. The main grape variety of Crémant de Limoux is Chardonnay (up to 70%), followed by Chenin Blanc (20 to 40%). Wine producers can also use up to 10% Pinot Noir, which is the case for the Crémants of Domaine La Louvière.
