One of Canada’s leading wine writers and acknowledged king of bubbles, Guénaël Revel,  says here that ‘Surprises always come from Limoux”.

“Limoux is too often overlooked by fizz aficionados” he added, “whereas its sparkling wines offer an unmatched price/quality ratio. It also boasts a diversity which you won’t find anywhere else in France.  Rives-Blanques is hardly 20 years old, yet the Panman family has raised it to one of the best vineyards of the region.”

“This is a beautiful Blanquette”,  he concluded, “straightforward, elegant and refined.”
