Aimery Crémant de Limoux Grande Cuvée 1531

Romazini: 5/5 Stars

The Winemaker

Indulge yourself in this subtle, elegant sparkling wine.
Its yellow robe with green lights reveals delicate, beautiful bubbles.
Its fresh, lively, gracious nose is dominated by white flower and citrus aromas.
The attack is fresh and creamy with delicately lemony flavors that slowly make way for longlasting candied, mineral notes at the finish.

The History of the Languedoc vineyard dates back to the 5 th century BC when the Greeks first introduced grape vines and their cultural practices.
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.
