This is a delightful, if not a touch simple cremant. Apples...but they’re delicious apples. A fun quaffer.

Faire la Fête takes its cue from village of Limoux – “birthplace of bubbles” - where world’s longest running annual carnival celebration allows revelers to dance, sing, celebrate and enjoy an endless flow of sparkling wine. A blend of70% Chardonnay, 20% Chenin Blanc & 10% Pinot Noir. Clean, light aromatic nose of citrus, stone fruits and yeasty notes. Palate, ripe apple and lemon flavors, slightly creamy texture, balanced by crisp acidity and fine bubbles on lingering citrusy finish.

Brioche, baked apple, pie crust, & baking spices. Excellent creaminess, acid, & finish. Rich across the board, but still quite delicate. Tasty & drinks well above its price point!

Solid #cremantdelimoux - orchard fruit, subtle citrus aromas. More weight on palate than typical in this price range, sturdy bubbles, not super dry so a touch more fruit. Good sparkler but I expected more given the hype on Somm TV for this wine.
