Sieur d’ Arques (Appellation Crémant de Limoux Contrôlée)

Sieur d’ Arques is located in the region of Languedoc, in Southern France, only about 15 miles from Carcassonne. It was in 1531, one century before Dom Pérignon, that wines from Limoux stepped onto the world stage thanks to Benedictine nuns from the St Hilaire Abbey, a neighbouring village, who created the first sparkling wine in the world: La Blanquette de Limoux. The earliest written references to Blanquette de Limoux can be traced back to the lord of the region, “le Sieur d’Arques” who swigged down “flasks of Blanquette” to celebrate his victories. Four centuries later, in 1946, the founding winemakers of our winery christened their wine, Sieur d’Arques.
