The World’s First Sparkling Wine

The history of the Languedoc vineyards dates back to the fifth century BC, when the Greeks introduced the vine and its cultivation techniques. But it wasn’t until 1531 that the Benedictine monks of the St Hilaire Abbey, a village close to Limoux, produced the first sparkling wine in the world… The World’s first Sparkling Wine was born.Seduced by this sparkling wine, a local lord, the Sieur d’Arques got into the habit of quaffing « Flascons » of Blanquette to celebrate his victories.Four centuries later, in 1946, inspired by this historical anecdote, the winery’s founders took on the name of Sieur d’Arques. Since that day, the company has perpetuated the work of its remarkable artisans in a true desire to share their ancestral know-how with all lovers of exceptional wines.
