About the wine
Decanter-awarded French sparkling Rosé
- This crisp blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Chenin Blanc and the rare Mauzac grape balances delicate layers of fruit with an easy-sipping crispness and bubbly finesse thanks to 18 months of bottle aging.
- With Angel support, Françoise harvested hand-picked fruit from terraced hillsides in Southern France’s famed Limoux region, carefully crafting this show-stopping sparkling in the traditional method for pure elegance.
- This pink Crémant de Limoux just medaled at the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards – and it’s all yours for a limited time while it lasts!
Best before
Although we have already done the aging here in our cellar, this wine can also be kept and enjoyed for at least 3 years if you'd like more complex flavors to develop.
Serving advice
Whenever you have something to celebrate, it's always bubble o'clock!
Food match
My favorite pairing with the Brut Classique Rosé is raw fish and more generally Asian food like sushi. The freshness of the wine perfectly balances the flavors, even when the food is a bit spicy.

Wine profile
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!"
