You won't be disappointed
A little known gem. Having lived in Limoux for 10 years, where we regularly sampled it, we were delighted to find it in Tesco on our return to the UK. Forget the mediocre, over hyped and (frequently)over priced prosecco. This has so much more to offer and can match many a champagne in quality.
Please try this!
I bought this instead of Prosecco for everyday fizz drinking. I was very impressed with this wine. Immediately yeasty and biscuity on the nose. The bubbles are fine and the mouth feel of the mousse is excellent. The acidity is well balanced and there are fresh subtle citrus tastes. It handles food well. Very good champagne substitute and more interesting than Prosecco. I think this will Jae excellent champagne cocktails at my daughters wedding- as well as fooling all but the well trained champagne drinkers as a stand alone fizz!
Fantastic value
I've had champagne costing three or four times as much and this wine outdoes all but one or two. Fantastic value.
excellent value and taste
This is excellent value and tastes as good as most champagne. Lovely flavour, small bubbles that last until the end of the bottle. Goes well with fish or white meat, but is equally good on its own.
low acidity, light and really refreshing
low acidity, light and really refreshing, most probably due to the prominent use of mauzac. Consumed with some light bites and went down very well and really decent value for the quality. I would rate this above the majority (but not all) of the cremants ive had and above any bottom range champagne.
Fabulous price and superb flavours

Why drink champagne when you can drink this?
This sparkling wine is just wonderful. It’s absolutely delicious, better than a lot of champagnes. And it’s about a third of the price of a comparable champagne – simply because it comes from Languedoc and they’re not altered to put “champagne” on the label.
Favourite Fizz
Absolutely love this fizz. Personally I prefer it to Prosecco or Champagne. It has lovely brioche and peach flavours and is great when enjoyed in the sunshine. I always bring this to bbq's and people love it.
Love it!
Absolutely my favourite fizz. I love Blanquette ever since I first tasted it in Limoux in the 80’s. It is hard to find over here and expensive. This is one of the best I have tasted and at a very good price. As good as champagne IMO. Dry, crisp and fruity, good on its own or with food. More body than prosecco and much more bang for your bucks. Try it! Please keep stocking it Tesco!
Marvellous.
This has become our favorite wine. Subtle flavours, pleasing aftertaste. Not in every store and seems to go quickly so grab it as soon as you see it. Why am I telling you this? We usually buy every bottle on the shelf, but I guess we need to share quality and spread the joy.
