Blanquette was first produced in 1531 by the Monks of St. Hilaire perhaps more than 150 years before the Champagne Region produced their bubbles!</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">It was these Monks who first tied the corks to the bottles. Producers of the Blanquette Ancestrale still follow tradition and bottle at the time of the full moon in March ready for the warmer weather to start the secondary fermentation that produces les bulles (the bubbles) the fabulous sparkle within the bottles.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Click the 'More' button on the left for: <br> <br> * An introduction to Blanquette wine<br> * The history of Blanquette<br> * Personalised wine bottle labels for special occasions<br> * Information about accessories to go with your Blanquette<br> * Accommodation in the Limoux area where the wine is produced</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2">Blanquette is produced in a relatively small area around Limoux. This is a natural sparkling wine produced by a process that dates back nearly 500 years. The more that you delve into the history, the origins, and associations of la bulle (the bubble), the greater becomes the fascination for this area and the spirit and sparkle of Limoux, the region that provided the world with the ORIGINAL BRUT.</font></p> <p align="center"><b> <font face="Verdana" size="2">THE ORIGINAL BRUT brought to you by<br> THE ORIGINAL UK DEDICATED BLANQUETTE WEB SITE </font></b></p> <p align="center"><font face="Verdana" size="2">This site uses frames which your browser does not support.  Ideally you need to update your browser.</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Trebuchet MS">Now you can discover it by visiting our online wine shop!</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Trebuchet MS" color="#FF0000" size="4"> <a target="_top" href="http://www.blanquette.co.uk/acatalog/">Click here to Enter</a></font></p> <p align="center"> <img border="0" src="images/words-small.jpg" alt="Blanquette the Original Brut!" width="295" height="33"></p> <p align="center"> <font face="Trebuchet MS" size="1">Photographs by Michel Picard & Guy Mouilleaux courtesy of Photos Gratis <a target="_blank" href="http://www.photosgratis.com"> www.photosgratis.com</a></font></p> </body>
