In 1946, families of winegrowers joined to create Sieur d’Arques, a unique cooperative. Located in the South of France, in the heart of the Languedoc on the foothills of the Pyrenees, our region, Limoux, is renowned as the birthplace of sparkling wine since the 16th century. Since the beginning, we seamlessly blend tradition and innovation to craft exceptional wines that honor our terroir.
Today, Sieur d’Arques is one of the leading producers of traditional sparkling wines in France, ageing over 10 million bottles of Blanquette de Limoux and Crémant de Limoux. Our brands ensure that celebrations around the world are marked by quality and distinction.
Choosing Sieur d'Arques means embracing unparalleled expertise, a unique terroir, and a legacy of passion and authenticity, brought to life in every bottle.
The Cooperative is certified for its quality management system. All is formally in place for complete traceability from the vine to the bottle. Wine security and hygiene are based on 2 certifications, renewed annually:
- IFS (International Food Standard)
- BRC (British Retail Consortium Global Food Standard).
An R&D active unit which monitors progress and innovation at all stages of the vineyard and within the company.
At the same time, Sieur d’Arques is continuing its commitment to eco-friendly viticultural practices, actively contributing to sustainable development by preserving natural resources and promoting biodiversity.
96% of our vineyard obtained the HVE certification in 2024.
The objective of this HVE (High Environmental Value) is to respect biodiversity (insects, trees, hedgerows, flowers, etc.), reduce the use of phytosanitary products, optimize soil and vine fertilisation, manage waste, to protect the health and safety of our winegrowers, our employees and consumers.
All our wines are vegan friendly, and we also are one of the very few wineries to establish a 0 CMR policy in the vineyard, meaning we completely avoid the use of substances classified as Carcinogenic, Mutagenic, or Reprotoxic, ensuring safer practices for both workers and the environment.
