Toques et Clochers
Toques et Clochers is a unique identity in France, which since 1990 has distinguished the excellence of the vintages and winemakers of Sieur d'Arques in Limoux.

With its four terroirs and forty-two bell towers, Limoux takes advantage of its exceptional location in the Languedoc region, and encourages the personal efforts of each winemaker to produce exceptional wines. With the latest oceanic influences and the mark of the natural screens of the Pyrenean foothills, the climate is nuanced into four terroirs that mark the wines that come from them: Mediterranean, Autan, Oceanic, Haute-Vallée. Selection of plots, hand-picking and sorting of the grapes are essential to the production of these great Toques et Clochers wines.

With Toques et Clochers and its four Terroirs, Sieur d'Arques produces exceptional white wines whose Chardonnay grape variety illustrates the terroir effect: mineral notes and a beautiful structure for the Haute-Vallée, floral aromas and notes of dried fruit for the Autan terroir, notes of white-fleshed fruit and vanilla for the Océanique terroir, intensity of ripe fruit aromas and a fleshy mouthfeel for the terroir under Mediterranean influence.

"Beautiful white terroir

"Every year at the Guide's rendezvous, the winery places here its cuvée Océanique, which comes from high-altitude plots in the west of the appellation. The ageing process puts its stamp on an intensely vanilla nose. White flowers and citrus fruit come through on the voluminous palate, which also boasts greedy sweetness and an invigorating, salivating finish. Ready for the table.
