The Story
Françoise Antech crafted Cuvee Françoise 25 years ago when she went back to Limoux to express her personal taste in bubbles. Through the selection of her favorite tanks, she strives to reveal the perfect balance between the freshness (altitude) and complexity (ageing on lees). Blanquette de Limoux is the world's first sparkling wine, dating back to 1544.
About Cuvee Francoise
Producer Story
For over five centuries, Maison Antech has tamed the magical terroir of Limoux to make fine sparkling wines.
The secret of their character lies in the combination of Limoux's three terroirs, which form the backbone of the cuvées: freshness from the Pyrenees, vinousness from the ocean, and roundness from the Mediterranean. From these terroirs, Mauzac and other grapes are cultivated, each bringing their own complexity and purity to the wines. This Cuvee, named after Francoise, daughter of the family and a member of the sixth generation celebrates her strong character and the part she plays in guarding her heritage and shaping their future.
