Blanquette de Limoux wine is a French sparkling wine produced around the city of Limoux in Languedoc in southwestern France.
Limoux wine is produced under four Appellation d'origine contrôlée designations: Blanquette de Limoux, Blanquette méthode ancestrale, Crémant de Limoux and Limoux, the first three of which are sparkling wines and dominate the production around Limoux. The main grape of the region is the Mauzac, locally known as Blanquette, followed by Chardonnay and Chenin blanc. In 2005, the Limoux AOC was created to include red wine production consisting of mostly Merlot.
