Le Clos des Demoiselles is one of the domaine’s top cuvées. It was created in honor of the Brut Originel: Limoux’s claim to the first sparkling wine ever made in 1531. The blend is 60% Chardonnay, 25% Chenin Blanc and 15% Pinot Noir from the domaine’s hand-harvested clay-limestone slopes.
It’s made by the traditional method. The grapes are pressed slowly and gently in a pneumatic press, the first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the second in bottle.
Golden in the glass with a fine, steady bead, it opens on white peach blossom and notes of a musky anise undertone. Complex and refined with brioche, citrus, and toasted almond on the palate. Creamy mousse with a soft, full, and persistent finish.
