Le Moulin is named for the parcel where most of the domaine’s Mauzac grows, a hillside topped by an old windmill. Mauzac is Limoux’s traditional grape, and here it makes up 90% of the blend, finished with 10% Chardonnay. The domaine farms near La Digne-d’Aval, outside Carcassonne, on clay-limestone slopes where hot, dry days and cool nights keep the fruit fresh. The grapes are picked by hand.
The grapes are pressed slowly in a pneumatic press, and the first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The second fermentation happens in bottle by the traditional method, and the wine is finished brut.
Fresh apple, pear, and honey aromas with apricot underneath. Fine bubbles with a soft, rounded palate and a clean, refreshing finish.
