Sieur d'Arques Grande Cuvee 1531 Blanquette de Limoux brut

Blanquette de Limoux is considered one of the oldest sparkling wines in France—the monks of Saint-Hilaire Abbey are said to have developed the traditional method of bottle fermentation here as early as 1531, around 100 years before Champagne. Sieur d'Arques, the leading cooperative of the appellation, carries on this history in its cuvée name.

In the glass, the wine displays a pale yellow color with green reflections; the perlage is fine and persistent. The nose is dominated by the indigenous Mauzac grape variety: white blossoms, pear, a hint of quince, and the typical herbaceous Mediterranean garrigue notes. On the palate, it is soft and velvety on the attack, with fresh acidity, ripe white fruit, and a lovely finish.

Ideal as an aperitif, with goat cheese from the Languedoc region, or with light fish dishes. Serving temperature: 7–9 °C.

Sieur d'Arques

Discover the birthplace of French sparkling wine with Sieur d'Arques! The traditional winery from the Languedoc looks back on over 470 years of experience and is considered the inventor of the Méthode Ancestrale – a process that was developed as early as 1531 by Benedictine monks in the abbey of Saint-Hilaire and thus existed before Champagne. To this day, the winery is closely intertwined with this history: around 200 winegrower families from the region around Limoux bring their grapes together and thus create a variety of terroirs that is reflected in every wine.

Exceptional Crémants de Limoux are created here, which will inspire you with their elegance and finesse. The sun-drenched vineyards, which are also characterized by cool winds from the nearby Pyrenees, give the grapes – especially Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Mauzac and Pinot Noir – a special freshness, which is expressed in fine-beaded, aromatic sparkling wines. Our Grand Cuvée 1531 de Aimery Crémants – both the classic Brut and the seductive Rosé – perfectly embody this centuries-old tradition and are carefully developed using traditional bottle fermentation. Every bottle tells the story of the vineyards around Limoux and the masterful craftsmanship of this winery. Experience French sparkling wine excellence away from Champagne and let yourself be enchanted by the authentic quality of this special house – for you and for special moments!
