The Wine
Roche Lacour winemaker Laurent Mingaud works his magic beneath the cool hills of Limoux. Here, the monks of Saint Hilaire are said to have mastered sparkling wine methods in 1531, centuries ahead of Dom Pérignon. Bottles back then were fragile and didn't travel, so their success remained a secret. The cuvée is rich in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir - like Champagne - and the wine is oak fermented - just like Krug! It's an expensive technique (so rarely practised) yet important for extra depth and complexity. Enjoy any time a celebration is called for as a sensational food match to oysters, paté or rich chicken dishes.
