France's Oldest Sparkling Wine! Dry, toasty, smooth and clean Saint-Hilaire Limoux Blanc de Blanc Brut truly captivates with an attractive yeasty aroma and luscious creamy texture. The palate is light and crisp with citrus and apple flavors and the body is just hefty enough. Blanquette de Limoux is probably the oldest sparkling wine in the world. We know that in 1531, the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire were already producing Blanquette de Limoux which certainly makes it France's Oldest Sparkling Wine preceding Champagne by more than a century The Limoux vineyards are located in Languedoc, in Southern France, at the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. The grapes are selected from clay-limestone plots that capture both the Oceanic and Mediterranean influences.
About Saint Hilaire More than a century before champagne, the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire in the Southern foothills of Limoux had created France's Very First Sparkling Wine. Today, over four and a half centuries later, Saint-Hilaire Blanquette de Limoux is made in the very same foothills of Southern France.
Due to an increase in our cost of this item we have had to put a limit in on this item to 1 case per order so that we can keep our selling price at the same level.
Every time I serve this to someone not familiar with Saint-Hilaire they always ask about it because of the quality. Then when they hear the value everyone agrees that it can not be matched.

Better than $50.00 Champagne!
My wife loves sparkling wines. I do too, just not quite as much! We have sparkling wines and Champagnes in our cellar that we have paid way too much for because, dollar for dollar, St. Hilaire is the best. Even if you drop the price comparison and do a blind tasting against champagnes going for $50 and up, St. Hilaire will stand out.
