__________________

The Blanquette de Limoux is an AOC since 1938. The

Vintage Baron Maxime was selected and branded by
Maxime Double. Baron Maxime Brut Gold Reserve is a
blend of Mauzac and Chardonnay from the cool climate
Limoux Appellation in South of France. Blanquette de
Limoux is claimed to be the oldest quality sparkling wine
from France and therefore in the world, with records dating
back from the mid 16th century. It is believed that the famous
monk Dom Perignon learnt how to make sparkling wine
during a visit down to Limoux.

SOIL
Clay-limestone. The Vines have 20 years an average age.
The Estate follows the precepts of integrating farming.

GRAPE VARIETIES
90% Mauzac
10%Chardonnay

WINEMAKING
Yields are kept low and all grapes are all harvested by hand
to prevent any oxidation before pressing. The Traditional
Method is used with second fermentation in the bottle. The
average yield is limited to 50hl/ha. The harvest is
exclusively manual. The vintage Baron Maxime follows a
traditional vinification, and it is aged on slats for 9 months.

TASTING INSTRUCTIONS
The mousse is fine and persistent. The wine reveals delicate
aromas of acacia with hints of citrus fruit. Soft and fresh on
the palate, it displays a lovely creamy mouthfeel with a nice
lingering finish.
It’s an ideal drink for aperitif (dry or in cocktail) or to
accompany fish (trout) or seafood (crab, shrimp, spider crab).
Serve chilled between 7-9°C.
