Rated estate (2025 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About the estate:

The Sieur d'Arques cooperative winery is a key player in the Limoux wine region, where it accounts for approximately 60% of production. Founded in 1946, it now brings together some 205 members and owns a vast vineyard of 1,800 hectares spread across more than 40 municipalities, enabling it to conduct rigorous plot-by-plot selection across a wide variety of terroirs. Its Toques et Clochers auction, established in 1990, has given Limoux a renewed sense of prestige and drawn attention to its still wines.
