Details
The ‘Passion’ is a classic Crémant de Limoux, sourced from Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir. After spending 18 months on lees, the result is a complex sparkling with preserved lemon, almond and brioche notes. It is an energetic sparkling with a clean and vibrant finish.

Domaine Delmas is a Good Pair Days exclusive. After searching for a delicious local bottle of fizz, our wine buyer visited a quaint bottle shop in Narbonne, where they discovered this gem. The winery focuses on the iconic sparkling wines from this region, including Blanquette de Limoux and Crémant de Limoux, while also producing a selection of still wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The estate was founded by Joseph Delmas in the 1920s and is now run by Bernard, his grandson, his wife Marlène and son Baptiste. Bernard was a pioneer in the region, switching to organic farming, and the winery was the first certified organic estate in Limoux in 1986. The wines showcase the fantastic depth of Limoux, which has the title of being the first region to make sparkling wines, yet avoids the thoroughfare that is Champagne and keeps to its impressive roots. They stack up against any other bottle of sparkling wine, and are proud to introduce them to our loyal members.

Pairing guide
Richer and more textured, Passion shows ripe orchard fruit, toasted brioche, and a creamy mousse. It’s a superb choice for celebrations or pairing with richer dishes like lobster with butter sauce, creamy pasta, or roast turkey. Its weight also makes it a great match for mushroom risotto, triple-cream brie, or even fried chicken. A sparkling that bridges elegance and indulgence with ease.
