Roche Lacour Crémant de Limoux Brut 2020

No wonder Roche Lacour has become our best-loved vintage fizz of all time. It’s made using the same painstaking process as Grande Marque Champagne, yet is far better value. With toasty richness, it’s the smartest way to pop a cork and add a sparkle.

We have offered this exemplary wine for over two decades and the multitude of awards over the years – and the 5-Star reviews – speak volumes. It is our bestselling sparkler by a mile. Laurent Mingaud, the original winemaker behind this great fizz, is back in charge, working 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. This vintage, we’ve adopted a lighter, more sustainable bottle for this fine fizz, still the same – rich in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, like Champagne, and nearly half the wine is oak fermented, just like Krug! It’s an expensive technique (so rarely practised) yet important for depth and toasty complexity.
