KENSINGTONWINE MARKETwww.kensingtonwinemarket.comANOTHER INCONVENIENT TRUTH!

FREE SATURDAY TASTINGSDrop-in from 2 to 5 PM and taste specially selected

wines in an informal and relaxed atmosphere

?-?-?-? The De-Vine Truth ?-?-?-?Was “Champagne” really the first region in

France to make sparkling wine?Most of the world credits the invention of sparkling wine to the Champagne region, and to Dom Perignon. The legend, and possible real story, is far more interesting.

In 1531 the monks of St Hilaire (a few kilometres from Limoux ) who were cultivating the golden grape Mauzac (Blanquette ) discovered naturally sparkling wine, the

Blanquette of Limoux, the Oldest Brut in the world. When the great Dom passed through, he stole the idea, or so the residents of Limoux allege!
