Blanquet de Limoux stakes its claim over Champagne, Cava and Prosecco as the first sparkling wine ever produced. Traditionally made from the Blanquette variety (more commonly known as Mauzac), this unique AOC is named for that grape and the town in which it was originally produced, Limoux. Located in Campagne-sur-Aude, a medieval village at the western edge of the Aude Haute Valley, Limoux Appellation, Languedoc, France.
Aimé Baron is crafted by the Salasar family who have been coaxing wine into secondary fermentation since 1890. This part of France is known for its beautiful unspoiled nature. Mountainous terrain and green landscapes are scattered with impressive castles and medieval abbeys. It is also famous for its exceptional terroir which gave rise to some of the Languedoc’s most prestigious appellations: Corbières, Minervois and Limoux.
