The Limoux region has been producing sparkling wines since 1544, long before Dom Perignon’s legendary discovery of the traditional method for making Champagne at the end of the 18th century. This elegant Cremant de Limoux is made by the Antech family who have been crafting spectacular sparkling wines here for six generations.
Composed of 50% Chardonnay, 40% Chenin Blanc and 10% Mauzac, the graceful Cuvee Eugenie Cremant is a vintage sparkling wine made as an hommage to Eugénie Limouzy. This noble lady was the great-aunt of brothers Georges and Roger who currently run the winery along with Georges’ talented winemaker daughter, Francoise.
Produced using the traditional method which is also used to make Champagne, the Cuvee Eugenie Cremant spends 12 months maturing on the lees which adds a charming toasty character. The result is a precise sparkling wine which exudes crisp lemon aromas and and mouthwatering acidity balanced by rich nutty and pastry flavours. There is a very gentle hint of sweetness thanks to the dosage of 8 grams per litre. The mousse is fine and persistent and the finish clean and pure, making this an ideal aperitif or partner for fish, light salads and chicken served in a creamy sauce.

Antech Cuvee Eugenie Cremant de Limoux 2023
As someone who has been ordering wine online regularly (22 orders and dozens of bottles since 2022), I have long appreciated 8Wines for offering access to interesting international labels and boutique styles that aren’t always readily available locally. However, a platform's true character isn't revealed when everything goes right; it's tested when a high-value bottle arrives compromised, and that is where 8Wines falls remarkably short. Over the last few years, I’ve spent well over €3,500 with 8Wines. When you spend consistently on a platform, you expect a baseline of mutual trust, especially when purchasing premium bottles where structural integrity is everything. Unfortunately, encountering damaged or flawed bottles on two separate occasions has brought to light a rigid, customer-unfriendly claims policy. A bottle of Susana Balbo Signature Malbec arrived completely cooked and oxidized. Despite detailing the structural defects, the customer service team deflected responsibility, demanded unreasonable layers of proof, and ultimately offered reward points rather than issuing a proper refund or replacement. One year later, another bottle, this time a high-end wine - the Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon arrived leaking in the box with visible stain traces under the capsule. Upon opening, the cork failure was undeniable, and the wine showed the distinct, flat overcooked notes of premature oxidation rather than its intended opulent fruit profile. Instead of acknowledging that cork failure and transport leakage, the 8Wines’ support team engaged in gaslighting. They attempted to lecture about the "jammy profile of the Wagner family." They argued that a leaking, stained bottle with a dry cork and premature oxidation was normal. Rather than standing behind the quality of their high-end stock, 8Wines offered a standard deflection playbook: no blame accepted, no refund given, and a small allocation of reward points thrown in as an appeasement. For a loyal customer who has spent thousands on the platform, being compensated with virtual points for a cooked, expensive wine is a disappointing resolution. Final Verdict 8Wines has an attractive catalogue and smooth shipping logistics when bottles survive the trip intact. But if you gamble on buying expensive, premium bottles here, be aware that you carry all the financial risk. If a cork fails or a bottle cooks in transit, don't expect a refund, expect a corporate email trying to convince you that flawed wine is just part of the "winemaker's style," followed by a handful of reward points to close the ticket, that if you insist upon, otherwise you will be left empty handed. Moving forward, I will reserve my purchases for everyday, lower-risk bottles, and buy any high-end, premium investments strictly from physical storefronts where visual inspection and immediate returns are actually honored.
