Among the 250 or so producers of Blanquette de Limoux, Maison Guinot is an estate worth mentioning for its friendly, human-scale approach.

A veritable Limoux institution since 1936, Maison Bor perpetuates ancestral know-how in the manufacture of nougat and chocolates. Let yourself be tempted by their specialty, the Tap de Limos, a small chocolate made with chardonnay marc in the shape of a champagne cork, or by the unrivalled creaminess of their nougats, made in copper cauldrons. The range of nougats is as varied as the packaging, sold individually, in boxes or in sachets. All our specialties are made with local, high-quality raw materials.

La Massotte is a farm, in the noble sense of the term, and with the air of Noah's Ark. Respectful of animal welfare, Joris puts all his energy into developing short circuit products, with his atypical breeding of black pigs, his succulent charcuterie, his lambs, his flock of "Rouge du Roussillon" sheep or his production of olive oil from his 4 hectares of olive grove, treated with natural fertilisers! Here we go from the meadow to the plate, in a perfect search for quality and balance, a return to our roots just a stone's throw from Limoux.

Nicolas, as a worthy heir of the family, will make you discover the complexity and the differences, between crémants and blanquettes, patiently elaborated, with grape varieties such as white chenin, chardonnay, pinot noir or mauzac.

As for the still wine, you can appreciate a 100% chardonnay in AOC Limoux or in Vin Pays d'Oc. An intimate address not to be missed, to visit absolutely.

Florence Sabater left Pauligne to settle in Limoux, the opportunity for this outstanding cook to develop her concept by proposing in her store her gourmet preparations and a beautiful selection of local products on the grocery side. Her cuisine will seduce you with its range of flavors, the range of dishes concocted with fresh products, the farandole of textures in the mouth: in short, a treat for the taste buds! The delicacy and the accuracy of the tastes, associated with mastered cooking, make Florence the culinary reference of the Limoux region.

This store, which is part of our urban and rural landscapes, is a delight for gardeners and your furry or feathered animals. We particularly like the Gamm Vert of the CAVALE cooperative in Limoux where the gourmet part of the store and the local products are in the spotlight: oils from the Moulin du Sou, dry and sweet cookies, canned food, cold cuts and meat from local farmers, cheeses, etc. There is also a large selection of local wines, blanquette de Limoux, artisanal beers and the whole range of Aper'oc and its famous Crèmes Religieuses.
