"…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.
