| TASTING NOTE: Blanquette de Limoux is the oldest sparkling wine in the world, predating Champagne as the traditional home of sparkling wine. The wines must be crafted at least 90% Mauzac with up to 10% of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc allowable. The Cuvée Jean Philippe is Mauzac and Chardonnay sourced from 20-year-old vines. Floral, apple and citrus tones with brioche and toast. (VINTAGES panel, Feb. 2016) |
