I've always enjoyed sparkling wine, even as a teenager. There are plenty of top quality bubbles here in Oz, but there is always that allure of French bubbles. Unfortunately champagne is very pricey here in Oz, even the "entry level" bottles. So I was absolutely thrilled to discover Blancquette de Limoux, and in particular, the original of them all, St Hilaire.

It is incredible to me that a bottle of French methode traditionnelle sparkling wine can be produced, bottled, shipped to Australia and sold at retail for the same price as a cheap bottle of carbonated local white wine. But you know what, I'll take it 😂🍾
