SUMMARY:The Original Sparkling: A Trade Masterclass on Limoux
DESCRIPTION:Discover the history and terroir of the world’s first sparkling wine with Ioana Revnic and CIVL\, Languedoc Wine Trade Council \nThe Terroir of Limoux\nThe Original Sparkling Wine Region\nIn 1530—more than a century before Champagne gained global renown—the Benedictine monks of Saint-Hilaire in the foothills of the Pyrenees documented the world’s first deliberate bottle-fermented sparkling wine. Today\, Limoux remains the Languedoc’s premier cool-climate sparkling enclave\, where Mediterranean sunshine meets Atlantic and Pyrenean breezes to yield naturally crisp\, complex\, and highly gastronomic wines. \nLed by Ioana Revnic\, FWS (Co-Owner\, Princess & Bear Wines)\, and presented in partnership with the Conseil Interprofessionnel des Vins du Languedoc (CIVL)\, this masterclass is designed specifically to unpack why Limoux deserves a permanent spot on serious Seattle wine lists\, retail shelves\, and study guides. \nWhat We’ll Explore\n\nTerroir & Microclimates: How elevation\, dual oceanic/Mediterranean influences\, and clay-limestone soils shape Limoux’s signature acidity and depth.\nThe Grapes: Mauzac’s crisp apple-peel aromatics\, blended alongside mountain-grown Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc.\nAppellation Styles: Unpacking the technical and stylistic differences across Blanquette de Limoux (Méthode Ancestrale and Traditional) and Crémant de Limoux.\nThe Guided Tasting: A seated flight of roughly eight benchmark sparkling wines\, including direct imports from Princess & Bear’s portfolio\, plus access to a discovery table featuring additional selections & small bites.\n\nEvent Details\n\nDate: Wednesday\, October 28\, 2026\nTime: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nLocation: Princess & Bear Wines | 309 S Cloverdale St\, Suite A1\, Seattle\, WA 98108\nTickets: $25\nLink: https://www.princessandbear.com/product/the-original-sparkling-a-trade-masterclass-on-limoux \n\nSeating is strictly limited to 30 attendees to ensure an focused\, seated tasting experience.
