Recognized for its great still wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the Domaine de la Métairie d'Alon is located on an exceptional terroir renowned for centuries for its sparkling wines (Limoux). The temptation was great to try our hand at creating a sparkling wine, a wine in our image, composed solely of our two favorite grape varieties, Pinot Noir, the great specialty of our estate (70%) and Chardonnay (30%) (*).
To highlight the wonderful natural conditions we enjoy, we wanted to employ the most exacting of expertise, without compromise, starting with the time aspect. We decided not to rush and to give the wine all the time it needs to undergo its metamorphosis, particularly during its ageing "sur lattes", until it attains an unequalled finesse and complexity.
(*): the deliberate choice to only work with these two grape varieties and a majority of Pinot Noir excluded us from the Limoux or Crémant de Limoux appellations from the outset.
