Francoise Gazeau Cremant de Limoux Brut Classique 2017
About the wine
Gorgeous, vibrant French bubbly - yours for a song
- You uncovered a hidden trove of diamonds. Cremant de Limoux is an incredible treasure – creamy, classic, dancing with tiny bubbles... and delightfully over-the-top.
- Did you know Limoux is an ancient wine region... older than Champagne?! Yep, this village in the south of France has made bubbly since the 16th century. They just don't boast as much...
- ...and that's the reason a sparkling wine with this kind of incredible caliber is yours for under $15. Sounds like news to keep to yourself – unless you've already bought 6.
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
Bend the bottles at 45 degrees and open the cork very gently to keep a maximum gas inside to enjoy the fine bubbles.
Food match
Ideal for an aperitif alongside seafood and cheese... and weddings!

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!"
