Francoise Gazeau Cremant de Limoux Brut Classique Rose 2016
About the wine
Glamorous Cremant de Limoux Rosé - for $14.99?!
- Angels made the most impeccable sparkling Rosé possible - Cremant de Limoux – for 40% less. If that isn't triomphe... what is?!
- You sent Francoise – a Limoux expert – to make a fresh pink sparkler from four different grapes, including rare Mauzac - which gives this luminous bubbly its juicy fruit flavors. It's just so elegant!
- And Limoux is the perfect alternative to a Champagne. "You pay less for better quality," Francoise says with a smirk. We're ok with this French rivalry – especially at $14.99!
Best before
Enjoy now - we've aged the wine plenty, so it's yours to enjoy. You can keep it up to 3 years, or beyond in perfect cellar condition.
Serving advice
Open it gently and enjoy its fine bubbles. Keep the bottle at 45° when you open it.
Food match
A flute of Rosé can serve an excellent alternative to a pre-dinner cocktail. It's a great pairing with almost any seafood dish - like sashimi and sushi.
Contains sulphites

Meet the winemaker - Françoise Gazeau
If you’re looking for delicate sparkling wines with a fresh bit of French elegance and finesse, Françoise is your match. “I like to keep a beautiful acidity in all my wines," she says. "I'm also convinced that it's important to give wines time. That’s what makes bubbles so luscious and complex."
A 6th generation winemaker from Limoux – an ancient provence in the southern Languedoc famous for sparkling wines like Crémant de Limoux – Françoise is proud to carry her family's winemaking traditions – but she has a bigger vision in mind...
"I dream about Limoux becoming the best sparkling wine appellation in the world," she says excitedly. "And Angels will make that happen!"
