A.O.C./A.O.P.

Crémant de Limoux was granted controlled appellation status in 1990. It bolsters the range of sparkling wines grown around Limoux: ancestral method Blanquette de Limoux and Blanquette de Limoux. It is grown within the same boundaries (41 towns and villages in Aude south of Carcassonne) though complies with different varietal and growing standards: an upper limit of 70% is applied to the traditional varietal Mauzac and a minimum requirement of 30% to Chardonnay and Chenin. Secondary fermentation must occur in the bottle with 12 months bottle fermentation (versus 9 for Blanquette).

Grape varieties: Vins effervescents : chardonnay, chenin, mauzac
