RVF
"Succumb to the delicacy of its aromatic floral notes."
Grown at altitude, Chardonnay Haute-Vallée benefits from maritime influences that bring freshness and refined, elegant aromatics. The palate is supple and rich, revealing notes of vanilla and pepper, white fruits, and citrus. A great Chardonnay from Languedoc, influenced by the Pyrenees!

Rated estate (2025 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
The Sieur d'Arques cooperative is the major economic player in Limoux, marketing 16 million bottles. A pioneer in plot selection, it has been committed to quality for twenty years and continues to produce very well-balanced vintages. The range of Toques-et-Clochers whites, made from Chardonnay grapes grown in four Limoux terroirs, is aged in barrels in the Burgundian style, with bâtonnage, resulting in generous, charming and perfectly balanced wines. A lovely range of quality sparkling wines perfectly complements the winery's selection. Its consistent quality makes it a true spearhead for the appellation.

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 around 60% of production. Founded in 1946, it now has some 205 members and owns a vast vineyard covering 1,800 hectares spread across more than 40 communes, enabling it to carry out rigorous plot selection across a wide variety of terroirs. Its Toques et Clochers auction, established in 1990, has given Limoux a renewed reputation and drawn attention to its still wines.

Wine rating (2025 guide) 90/100 (Review 690 May 2025)
About wine:
On opening, the nose is quite closed, with only a few toasted notes from the aging process coming through. The palate is full-bodied and quite round, with a retro-olfaction of citrus fruits. The finish brings acidity and freshness.
