Grand Cuvée 1531 de Aimery Crémant Brut de Limoux

The Grand Cuvée 1531 de Aimery Crémant Brut de Limoux from the Sieur d'Arques winery is no ordinary sparkling wine – its name bears a year that makes history: in 1531, monks in Limoux discovered the art of bottle fermentation, long before Champagne began its triumphant rise. Whoever holds this Crémant in their glass holds a piece of wine history in their hands.

After twelve months of lees aging, it reveals its most elegant side: the perlage is fine and persistent, the aroma inviting with notes of green apple, ripe pear, and a hint of honey , along with delicate floral hints of white blossoms. On the palate, it impresses with a crisp freshness, pleasantly integrated acidity, and a substantial, dense body that lingers on the finish. The gold medal at the 2016 Concours Général Agricole Paris underscores what the glass reveals: unwavering commitment to quality.
