winemaker's notes:

France's Oldest Sparkling Wine!

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.

A Customer - atlanta
First tried it New Years Eve. 9 months later, I had the pleasure of drinking it again. Even better while relaxing! This wine beats the taste of true champagnes with half its history and 4 times its price. Not sweet, lemon-berry undertones. And a FINE effervescence, if you know what I mean.
A Customer - Lake Tahoe, CA
I was gifted a bottle of this for my birthday. Saved it for about a year and opened for a special ocaision. I LOVED it, and was sure it cost the giver at least $35. Recently found the label and looked it up online since I haven't found it in any stores. What a surprise to find the price is so reasonable! My "house" sparkling wine used to be Domaine Chandon, but now it's St. Hilaire!

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
