Antech Cuvée Françoise Crémant de Limoux Brut Rosé NV

The Antech Cuvée Françoise Crémant de Limoux Brut Rosé 2019 offers fleeting effervescence with scents of toasted bread and minerals. Initial flavors of citrus, watermelon, and lemon zest are accented by cherry, which intensifies as it warms. Some find the mineral note jarring, but the wine maintains a decent balance and improved harmony overall.

This Crémant de Limoux Brut Rosé presents a delicate ballet of pale salmon hues, embodying the elegance of its southern French origins. The nose is a refined bouquet of wild strawberries, red currants, and a whisper of rose petals, underscored by a subtle autolytic character reminiscent of freshly baked brioche. On the palate, it reveals a fine mousse with vibrant acidity that enlivens the red berry fruit core, while a mineral undertone adds depth and precision. The finish is crisp and refreshing, making it an exemplary representation of the Crémant de Limoux style, perfect for aperitif or pairing with light seafood dishes.
