A brilliant, sumptuous wine, Bulle de Blanquette is at the level of the finest sparkling wines.
It was in 1531 in the Saint Hilaire Abbey, not far from Limoux, that Benedictine nuns first observed the appearance of strange bubbles in a wine that they had left to ferment in a bottle, marking the birth of the first sparkling wine in the world. Today, Bulle N°1 is the worthy descendant of the first sparkling wine in the world. Bulle N°1 is a delicate, light wine with evolving toasted, brioche aromas, typical of the finest sparkling wines.
