About: Famille Antech is based in Limoux, a town in the Aude Valley of southern France, recognized as the birthplace of sparkling wine. Records from the Abbey of Saint-Hilaire indicate that monks were producing sparkling wines here as early as 1531, nearly a century before the emergence of Champagne. The Antech family has worked these vineyards for seven generations, establishing a reputation as one of the region’s most renowned sparkling wine producers. Today, the domaine is led by Françoise Antech-Gazeau, who is joined by her son, Baptiste.
