The best grocery stores Pays de la Haute Vallée de l'Aude

Nestled in the heart of a valley, on a land once cultivated by monks of Saint Hilaire's abbey, the domain de Martinolles perpetuates the age-old tradition. Here, you can taste its blanquettes, crémant, chardonnays and Pinot Noirs that are often rewarded. The pale yellow and crystalline coloured chardonnay reveals scents of dry apricot and vineyard peach. Blanquette de Limoux Carte Noire, with a beautiful bright yellow colour and golden reflections, has foam rope supported by slender and many fine bubbles. It subtly blends notes of white peach with scents of white flowers, making it perfect for an aperitif, for cocktails, or to accompany meals.

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.
