QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The most important questions asked by visitors to our cellars..
 

Wine and health:

"the healthiest and most hygienic of drinks" - Louis Pasteur-

Apart from its euphoric properties, wine seems to have some effect in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.(alcohol is an anti-coagulant, "anthocyanes" in which wine is rich, protect the blood vessels.)

Between one and two glasses daily for women and two to three for men can produce beneficial effects . Over this limit, consumption could become risky and then more dangerous.

Limoux's soils:

Our come of three estates (Saint-Jean, Lagaste, Taich ) with a different soil to ensure perfect conditions for production.

Blanquette and Cremant compared:

Composition of Blanquette: Blanquette is made mostly of Mauzac but also contains 10% Chardonnay Chenin.

Composition of Cremant:Cremant is a combination of 60% Mauzac (to give it that "limoux" taste) and a maximum of 40% of Chardonnay.

Blanquette or not Blanquette?

A great number of our new customers are surprised by the quality of our Blanquette; particularly if in the past, they have been disappointed by other types of wine.

In fact, mass-produced Blanquette which is destined for the supermarket can't be compared with that produced by our own small entreprise, which is the fruit of one hundred and twenty years of sales experience.
