We’ve offered this exemplary wine for over two decades, and the multitude of awards over the years – and the 5-Star reviews – speak volumes. It is our bestselling sparkler by a mile. Roche Lacour winemaker Viviane Gianesini works her magic beneath the cool hills of Limoux. Here, the monks of Saint Hilaire are said to have mastered sparkling wine methods in 1531, centuries ahead of Dom Pérignon. Bottles back then were fragile and didn’t travel, so their success remained a secret. This special edition cuvée, rich in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, like Champagne, and oak fermented, just like Krug, was long aged on its lees in bottle. In fact, it’s only just been disgorged. The result is toasty complexity and length, like a great Champagne.
