The Blanquette de Limoux "Les Pipistrelles" from Domaine Gibert is a refined French sparkling wine produced in the historic Limoux appellation, considered the birthplace of the world’s first sparkling wine. It comes from high-altitude vineyards in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude and is made from a skillful blend of Mauzac and Chenin, vinified according to the traditional méthode classique.
In the glass, it shows a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet offers elegant aromas of white fruit, delicate flowers, and subtle notes of brioche and toasted bread. On the palate, it is fresh, harmonious, and lively, with a pleasant creaminess and a long, mineral finish that invites another sip.
Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with fish, shellfish, sushi, white meats, and delicate desserts such as cream puffs or Saint-Honoré cake.

Winemaking
Winemaking
The grapes, harvested strictly by hand, are pressed and vinified separately by grape variety. Once alcoholic and malolactic fermentation is complete, the base wines age in steel for several months before being blended to create the final cuvée. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with at least 9 months of aging on the lees before disgorgement.
