Here goes my 2nd post on Limoux sparkling wines. To the best of my understanding this Creamant is a blend of Mauzac, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Clairet with Mauzac being a major contributor. It is a Rose. Naturally, it has more body and complexity comparatively to the white Blanquette that I reviewed few days ago. It has a fuller, rounder taste. I would still mention apple and herbs as major characteristics. The wine goes very well with spicy Asian fare
For more info on Limoux wines, go to: Languedoc website. I enjoyed the wine; $14.99 at the Whole Foods, Arlington.
