Description
What kind of wine is it
Dauteville Blanquette de Limoux Méthode Traditionnelle Brut is a sparkling wine from Blanquette de Limoux. The result of a blend of Mauzac, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grapes, it is produced using the Traditional Method. In the glass, it displays a pale straw yellow colour with silvery highlights; the bouquet releases notes of peach and pink grapefruit. This is a Brut style wine with a welcoming palate, featuring juicy hints of white-fleshed fruit, ideal for pairing with starters and cheeses or to be served as an aperitif.
Where does it come from
This wine originates in France, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, specifically in the Haute-Vallée de l’Aude area. Within the Blanquette de Limoux zone, Dauteville has been cultivating its own vineyards since 1890. The vines benefit from ideal soil and climate conditions, enhanced by management that follows the strict principles of organic and sustainable viticulture. The result is a fresh aromatic profile, which faithfully reflects the Limoux terroir.
How is it produced
The production process begins with manual harvesting to preserve the integrity of the bunches. After gentle pressing, the grapes ferment at a controlled temperature. The secondary fermentation takes place according to the Traditional Method, with no external addition of carbon dioxide. This is followed by ageing on the lees for at least nine months, which shapes the wine’s structure, giving it a smooth texture and a finish of elegant precision that enhances the fruit’s expression.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1890, Maison Dauteville embodies the authentic tradition of Languedoc-Roussillon. The Mauzac, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grapes, grown using an organic and sustainable approach in the Haute-Vallée de l’Aude, are hand-picked and gently pressed. The winemaking process follows the traditional method, with controlled fermentation and no added CO2. Thanks to patient ageing for at least nine months on the lees, a refined brut sparkling wine is created, fully honouring the prestigious Blanquette de Limoux AOC designation.
