Vinification of the Grande Cuvée 1531 Brut Rosé

The Sieur d'Arques winegrowers' cooperative enjoys an extensive reputation. As one of the most important wine producers in the Limoux region, it has been producing the two outstanding Grande Cuvées 1531 Brut and Grande Cuvée 1531 Rosé Brut since 1990. Four terroirs close to the Mediterranean Sea with different preferences and climatic conditions offer a rich repertoire for winemaking virtuosity and the assurance of the quality of the individual wines. This shows the two Crémants of the line 1531 inscribed.

The name 1531 refers to the discovery of sparkling wine fermentation by monks of the Abtai St. Hilaire near Limoux in 1531. The Sieur d'Arques cooperative, founded in 1946, employs top oenologists who also guarantee outstanding products. For the Grande Cuvée 1531 Crémant Rosé Brut de Limoux, the red Pinot Noir is used in addition to the Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grape varieties.

The very short mashing time after pressing produces the rosé tone of the must. The first fermentation is followed by bottle fermentation, also known as traditional méthode. The sparkling wine is left on the yeast for 12 months before the deposit is removed.

Food recommendation for the Grande Cuvée Rosé 1531

Enjoy it at a temperature of 7 or 8 °C as an aperitif, as a companion for sunny evenings, for festive occasions or to complement creamy desserts, fruit cakes, discreetly spiced seafood and white chocolate.
