What it pairs with

With cheese

Bleu des Causses Our pick Bleu des Causses is intense and creamy. A dry Crémant de Limoux, made sparkling in bottle from Chardonnay and Chenin with a little Mauzac or Pinot Noir, brings apple and citrus, fine bubbles and high acidity that cut the cream and reset the palate between bites.

History

Mouscaillo's Brut Nature Crémant is distinguished by its zero-dosage approach: no added sugar at disgorgement. The wine is made with estate grape must rather than commercial liqueur, reflecting Roquetaillade's mineral profile.
