- Code Rouge is a Blanc de Blanc showing great finesse and elegance. Almost crystalline in color, with fine bubbles, this pale sparkling wine has a floral bouquet combined with aromatic notes of ripe pear, green apple, citrus, and a touch of creamy vanilla. Fresh with a refined minerality on the palate and a vibrant finish.

Winery | This Cuvee comes exclusively from sustainably farmed terroirs located within the oceanic climates of Limoux. Code Rouge is an ode to excellence and a tribute to the world's first sparkling wine, made by the monks of Saint-Hilaire Abbey near Limoux. Historians suggest that Dom Perignon may have visited this Abbey and learned how to produce sparkling wines here, before taking his knowledge back to Champagne. This blanc de Blancs is made with Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, and the local variety Mauzac. It is a wine of great finesse and elegance typifying the terroir which nurtures it. |
