Blanquette de Limoux, Domaine d'O, Limoux AOC
Fixed for festive fizz yet? Or are you still hesitating over your Christmas-to-New-Years champagne budget? If that's a no and a yes respectively, then here's what to do: Domaine d'O's Blanquette de Limoux.
A genuine méthode champenoise sparkler - crisp, fruit-forward, vibrant effervescence, perfectly styled for your fizzy requirements. From the Limoux region in the South of France, where the inimitable Domaine d'O blend chardonnay, chenin blanc and the local mauzac varietal, then subject it to precisely the same secondary fermentation process as its much dearer sibling.
The result is a joyous harmony of floral, toasty, honeyed aromas and refreshing green-fruit and citrus-zest flavours, all swathed in a smooth, refined mousse. A result pairing beautifully with seafood, shellfish, and soft cheeses. One that today is your reason to stop hesitating and do some serious stocking up for the many libations ahead.
