Limoux Wines
Limoux is an ancient vine area surrounding a busy, eponymous market town on the river Aude, 20 kilometres south-west of Carcassonne that has long been famous for its sparkling wines, which locals claim pre-dates effervescent Champagne.
“They were making sparkling wine in Limoux, south west of Carcassonne, long before they cottoned on in Champagne. This fresh, fruity, full-flavoured example from Philippe Collin, son of a Champenois vigneron, is a beauty.”
