ABOUT THIS WINE
A blend of 70% Chardonnay, 12% Chenin Blanc, 10% Mauzac, 8% Pinot Noir aged 24 months in stainless steel. 20-40 year old vines grown on gently sloping hillsides formed of calcareous clay in a Mediterranean climate at an elevation of 650 feet. A beguiling fruit of the marriage of these varietals. This classic rosé shines a pale pink in color with silver highlights that hold subtle strawberry aromas, sweet fresh herbs, and a keen mountain stone mineral edge that pops thanks in part to the restrained 8g dosage. The palate is as pure as can be in its golden apple, salmonberry, dripping-ripe tropical fruit, and summery floral flavors, perfect to accompany appetizers, seared or grilled scallops, and chicken liver mousse on baguette. Best served and refreshed at 44-45° Fahrenheit. Certified Terra Vitis.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Maison Antech itself is a six‑generation family domaine, active in Limoux since at least 1860 and rooted in sparkling wine tradition going back over five centuries. Under current owner Françoise Antech, the estate emphasizes sustainable practices—Terra Vitis certified—leveraging Limoux’s unique climatological trifecta: freshness from the Pyrenees, mineral influence from the ocean, and Mediterranean ripeness. Their Blanquette range is the crown jewel of their terroir‑driven portfolio and this “Clara Vie” bottling is one of the most expressive examples of its kind.
