Why You'll Love It
Excellent value for properly made traditional-method sparkling wine. Bright orchard fruit, clean citrus and delicate toastiness make it a brilliant aperitif, but there's enough texture to match seafood, gougères or a plate of soft cheese.
About The Producer
Albert Doulet is a family wine estate rooted in Limoux, a historic centre of sparkling-wine production in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The project takes its name from Albert Doulet, born in nearby Carcassonne in 1895, and is now run by three of his great-grandsons. Limoux has a long sparkling-wine tradition, often traced to the monks of Saint-Hilaire in the sixteenth century. The area's cooler upland conditions allow Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir to ripen while retaining the acidity essential to fine bubbles. The Doulet family combines this regional heritage with the traditional method, producing Crémants that balance fresh orchard fruit with the biscuit and brioche character developed through bottle ageing. Its white and rosé wines offer an accessible, food-friendly alternative to Champagne without sacrificing craftsmanship.
Winemaking Information
The published Crémant de Limoux blend is 50% Chardonnay, 30% Chenin Blanc and 20% Pinot Noir. Grapes are directly pressed, cold settled at 0°C and fermented slowly for three to four weeks at approximately 15°C in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Secondary fermentation takes place in bottle, with approximately 18 months' ageing before release. The supplier's specification does not establish the ABV of this exact non-vintage bottling, so this remains for bottle-label verification.
