About the Winery
Jean Babou is a winemaker in Limoux, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. Limoux is a historic wine town known for producing sparkling wines using the traditional method (Blanquette de Limoux and Crémant de Limoux), which predate Champagne. The region's cool climate, influenced by its altitude and proximity to the Pyrenees, makes it ideal for sparkling wine production from Mauzac, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc grapes.
“Winemaker in Limoux, the birthplace of French sparkling wine, crafting Blanquette and Crémant.”
