Antech has been making sparkling wine for six generations. The French sparkling wine house specializes in Blanquette de Limoux, which is both a name of and a specific place for sparkling wine in Southern France. Antech uses the grapes Mauzac, Chenin, and Chardonnay to make the Brut Nature. And although it doesn’t seem to be proven, according to WineSearcher, locals like to say Blanquette de Limoux is even older than Champagne.
This is the ideal brunch sparkling wine because of its very elegant bubbles and lemon and apple peel notes. There may also be some very delicate notes of buttery brioche.
When you add just a tiny splash of orange juice, you’ll still be able to enjoy the lovely texture of the wine. To keep with the French theme, this mimosa would work well with an assorted platter of cheeses, like goat cheese, blue cheese, and some cream-based cheeses.
