Description
NV Gérard Bertrand Crémant de Limoux Brut Blanc de Blancs Code Rouge is produced within the framework of the estate’s long engagement with Limoux’s sparkling wine tradition, drawing on Chardonnay and other authorized white varieties grown under the combined influence of Atlantic and Mediterranean climates. Vineyard sourcing relies on detailed parcel selection across limestone and clay based sites farmed organically and biodynamically to maintain soil structure and promote balanced ripening. Base wines are created through gentle pressing and cool fermentations in stainless steel, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle under the traditional method. Lees aging is extended and adjusted each year to integrate components drawn from multiple parcels and vintages. Within the broader portfolio, Code Rouge aligns Limoux’s historical role in French sparkling wine with contemporary sustainable viticulture, using careful blending and methodical cellar work to convey the region’s altitude driven freshness and documented sparkling heritage.
