Limoux & Thomas Jefferson
Limoux (region in southern France near border of Spain) is where sparkling wine first originated, when in 1531, the monks of Saint Hilaire discovered the first wine with bubbles. Situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees, these vineyards benefit from the cool conditions required to make sparkling wines of quality.
This exceptional quality had even founded an echo across the Atlantic: The White House. Indeed, Thomas Jefferson was Limoux’ greatest admirer, and he discretely cultivated his love for France and for Limoux sparkling wine. Actually, wine from Limoux was the only sparkling wine to be found in his personal cellar, hence the tribute to “TJ” on the bottle!
Cheers & Happy New Year!
