Its name is of very ancient origin, as it is even said to be the true precursor of \u003cb\u003eChampagne\u003c\/b\u003e. Its origins date back to the Benedictine monks who, while working on \u003cb\u003evinification\u003c\/b\u003e techniques in the bottle, realized that due to an accidental combination, their still white wine had become \u003cb\u003esparkling\u003c\/b\u003e. Their method, developed in 1531 in the Abbey of Saint Hilaire, became emblematic for the production of this sparkling wine. The main grape variety – at least 90% – is Mauzac, which takes its name from its geographical origin, the village of the same name near Toulouse, France. A smaller concentration of 10% Chardonnay and\/or Chenin are permitted to complete the cuvée. From the Maison Vergnes winery, this wine embodies the character of the clay-limestone soils that gave it birth, with a complex climate influenced by both the Mediterranean and the ocean. For optimal production, the vinification process involves the champenoise method. First, the refermentation process is induced by the introduction of selected yeasts and sugars. The bottles are then left to rest on the lees for 9 months before disgorgement.","brand":"Maison Vergnes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44507230109867,"sku":"41491","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/vergnes-blanquette-de-limoux-carte-noir-brut-magnum_41491_1_e9f97730-683f-4c26-a18a-09148fa3a310.webp?v=1773696434"},{"product_id":"maison-vergnes-chardonnay-blanc-de-blancs-methode-traditionnelle-brut","title":"Maison Vergnes Chardonnay Blanc De Blancs Methode Traditionnelle Brut","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWhat kind of wine it is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaison Vergnes Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs is a French sparkling wine that elegantly expresses the purity of \u003cstrong\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/strong\u003e.
