"…With no dosage, the wine stays bone-dry and lets Mauzac’s orchard-fruit character and the cool foothills of the Pyrenees shine…"

— Lauren Mowery

Clara Vie Blanquette de Limoux Brut Nature NV is featured on Azure Road as a thoughtful example of slow sparkling wine, shaped by traditional method production and a strong connection to place. Predominantly Mauzac and aged on the lees with zero dosage, the wine is noted for its dry, precise profile and food-friendly versatility.

Key Highlights

  • Slow Wine Philosophy: Emphasizes patience, place, and intention over speed or trend
  • Traditional Method Sparkling: Produced in Limoux using time-honored techniques that prioritize extended aging and balance
  • Mauzac Expression: Predominantly Mauzac, showcasing orchard fruit, citrus, and regional character
  • Extended Lees Aging: Aged approximately two years on the lees, contributing texture and depth
  • Zero Dosage: Brut Nature style keeps the wine bone-dry and focused
  • Fresh, Food-Friendly Profile: Notes of apple, lemon zest, and subtle saline minerality
