The winery:

SIEUR D'ARQUES has many years of experience in the production of sparkling wines. because the securitised place of the first section of a wine is the Abbey of St. Hilaire. near Limoux. In 1531, the monks there enjoyed the accidentally discovered "Blanquette de Limoux" and in the Crémant "Grande Cuvée 1531" dealers find one of the finest Crémants in France.

The champagne tradition in Limoux goes back to the year 1531, when monks there discovered the principle of section. Slow grape maturation in cooler locations around Limoux preserves structure and acidity in the grapes and thus make them suitable for seeding. The grapes for the Première Bulle were handpicked. There was a traditional bottle fermentation with a total of 24 months of yeast storage. The sparkling wine has a pale yellow colour with green reflections. The fine and persistent moussey is very well integrated into the wine. In the nose and on the palate there are superficial notes of white flowers and yellow stone fruit. Despite all the harmony in the wine, the acidity is pleasantly invigorating. In the taste many fresh aromas such as citrus and pear with medium body. In the finish sounds of roasted aromas with a fresh finish.
