🌟 A charming and historic sparkling wine from the birthplace of bubbles—fresh, floral, and delightfully refined.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with fine, dancing bubbles—bright and cheerful.

👃 On the Nose:
Delicate aromas of green apple, pear, white flowers, and fresh herbs. Mauzac brings its signature note of crisp apple peel and a touch of hay, while Chardonnay adds finesse and citrus lift.

👅 On the Palate:
Light and vibrant with a creamy mousse. Flavours of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach are balanced by zippy acidity and a subtle hint of brioche from lees ageing. The finish is crisp, clean, and delicately mineral.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with goat cheese tartlets, oysters, smoked trout, or as an apéritif with salted almonds and olives. Its brightness also makes it a lovely match for sushi and light salads.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Best enjoyed young and fresh—drink within 1–3 years to savour its vibrant character.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
‘Le Moulin’ is an elegant reminder that great sparkling wine doesn’t have to come from Champagne. With its fine bubbles, orchard-fruit charm, and a touch of rustic soul from Mauzac, this Limoux gem is perfect for everyday celebrations and relaxed sophistication. A true hidden treasure of French sparkling.
