Product Description

Sieur d'Arques, located in Limoux, has been producing exceptional wines since 1946. It has made a name for itself in the Languedoc region as a creator of wines which artfully marry tradition with technical knowhow.

Regarded as a pioneer in terms of production quality, viticulture, and winemaking techniques, Sieur d'Arques has been working on its plot selection, from over 1,800 ha of Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée vineyards, since the 1980s. With the Mediterranean sun and heat tempered by both the Atlantic influence and the altitude (near the Pyrenees), the terroir of Limoux boasts perfect conditions for the production of fine wines. Its traditional expertise, combined with its constant pursuit of quality, excellence, and technical mastery, enable it to produce fine wines to suit the palates of the most demanding of wine drinkers.

The soft-spoken and sparkling Jean Babou Elégance Blanquette de Limoux Brut hails from Limoux, a small town located about 200 miles north of Barcelona, 100 miles southwest of Montpellier, and 60 miles southeast from Toulouse. The intersection of the Spanish and French cultures, just north of the Pyrenees mountains, combines with the larger Languedoc-Roussillon, which is one of the most important wine regions in the world.

Here in the hills of Limoux, cooler temperatures prevail, which provides the perfect setting for lower alcohol sparkling wines which are typically produced from the local varietals of Mauzac, Chenin Blanc, and Chardonnay. Jean Babou captures true "Elegance" in his bespoke bottle. Starting with a base white wine after primary fermentation, a “Liqueur de Tirage,” a blend of sugar and yeast, is added to the juice a few hours before bottling. After one year of aging, the lees are expelled, and the “Liqueur de Dosage” is added and aged an additional twelve months.

A golden hue with a fine nose of honey, acacia, and Meyer lemon carry through in the palate with citrus notes and elegance. Medium bodied with cider-apple character and grapefruit/lemon flavors, this wine is nice anytime, but especially as an aperitif or with fish or chicken accompanied by white sauces.
