DOMAINE J LAURENS LIMOUX METHODE ANCESTRALE (DEMI-SEC)
Sweet baked apples on the nose. The palate is bright with lovely fresh apple sweetness, baking spices and a slightly honeyed quality, the acidity perfectly balancing the sweeter elements. Naturally low in alcohol.
Mauzac Blanc is hand harvested and vinified following the method discovered by monks at Saint Hilaire Abbey in the 16th century. The first fermentation is halted by cooling the vats and the partially fermented wine is bottled the following March (traditionally at the time of a full moon) with its residual yeast and sugar. The second fermentation starts in the bottle as the temperature rises in the spring, and the final wine is lower in pressure and retains more of its natural sugar than traditional method fizz. With no dosage and no ageing the resulting wine is off-dry, lower in alcohol, and it is often slightly cloudy because the lower pressure of this style of wine prohibits the disgorgement of its lees.
