About the wine
Françoise's fine French bubbly Rosé is a sparkling lover's dream come true
- Meet Cremant de Limoux – the French sparkling that makes Champagne jealous. This luscious bubbly blend of Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and the rare Mauzac grape shimmers with delicate fruit flavors and elegance, while a touch of Pinot Noir helps give it that irresistible pink hue.
- With Angel support behind her from step one, Francoise sourced hand-picked fruit from terraced hillsides in Southern France’s famed Limoux region, and carefully crafted this show-stopping sparkling in the traditional method for an unmatched elegance.
- Franciose aged this Cremant in bottle for around 18 months to give it that perfect balance between easy-sipping crispness and bubbly decadence. Now it’s finally ready to be enjoyed for just $14.99!
Best before
You can drink it now or within the next 3 years.
Serving advice
Bend the bottles at a 45º angle and turn the bottle to open the cork very gently, so you can enjoy the fine bubbles. Cheers!
Food match
A flute of this Rosé can serve as an excellent alternative to a pre-dinner cocktail. It's also a great pairing with almost any seafood dish, sashimis and sushis, and Thai food as well.

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!"
