Sparkling Wine
Sparkling wines were first developed in 1531 in the Limoux region of the Languedoc near Carcassone before they were taken North to the famous Champagne region of France. The Languedoc still makes some of the best sparkling wines in the world that we have hand-selected for our unique Princess & Bear sparkling selection.

AOP Blanquette de Limoux
90% Mauzac, 10% Chardonnay
Aromas of kiwi fruit, green apple and apricots shining with acacia flowers, before a very clean, bright finish. Fine bubbles add a lovely, soft mouthfeel.
AOP Crémant de Limoux
60% Chardonnay, 25% Chenin, 15% Pinot Noir
This vigorous rosé lights up the glass with delicate bubbles and subtle shades of cherry. A rich raspberry nose harmonizes with a hint of soft stone fruit on the palate. Chardonnay and Chenin dominate, but it is the Pinot Noir that brings this wine to fullness.
AOP Crémant de Limoux
60% Chardonnay, 30% Chenin Blanc, 10% Pinot Noir
Interesting and complex nose of lemon blossoms, honey and a light touch of green apple. The palate reflects a well-rounded dry crémant, expressing toast, dried apricots and roasted nuts. Fresh fruit and lime round out the finish.
