| LE MOULIN BRUT BLANQUETTE DE LIMOUX Méthode Traditionnelle, AC |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DOMAINE J. LAURENS |
| Bright medium straw colour. Slightly spicy, honeyed, melon-citrus nose. Dry, medium-light bodied, faintly honeyed, zesty, ripe lemon-melon flavours with a crisp, very effervescent, unoaked finish. This 12% alcohol blend of 90% Mauzac and 10% Chardonnay has 14 g/L residual sugar. It’s even better than when it last appeared in Vintages (**) on April 26, 2014 at $17.95. |

| TASTING NOTE: The sparkling wines of Limoux probably pre-date those of Champagne. This example, made from 90% mauzac and 10% chardonnay, is very attractive and very good value, and makes an excellent aperitif as well as a successful partner for food. The flavours are fresh but substantial, with good focus and structure, and they sit prettily with the broad seam of crisp, round-edged acidity. The bubbles are plentiful, the mousse generous. Score - 4 1/2 Stars out of 5 (Rod Phillips, winealign.com, May 10, 2014) |
