Among the 250 or so producers of Blanquette de Limoux, Maison Guinot is an estate worth mentioning for its friendly, human-scale approach. Since 1875, blanquette has been produced by hand in a family-run business, with bottling on site and manual riddling of 30,000 bottles daily. During the 45-minute "Bulles et Lumière" tour, you'll discover the cellars and all the stages involved in making this sparkling wine. The tour is completed by a 3D video, and your visit ends appropriately with a tasting.

The Atelier des Vignerons is temporarily closed, awaiting a buyer.

Nicolas, as a worthy heir of the family, will make you discover the complexity and the differences, between crémants and blanquettes, patiently elaborated, with grape varieties such as white chenin, chardonnay, pinot noir or mauzac. A shower of medals comes every year to crown these vintages through the cuvées "Ma maison", "Prestige", "Domaine Rosier" or the inevitable cuvée "L" real favorite. As for the still wine, you can appreciate a 100% chardonnay in AOC Limoux or in Vin Pays d'Oc. An intimate address not to be missed, to visit absolutely.

Founded in 1929, the Anne de Joyeuse winery takes its name from the Duke of Joyeuse, to whom the seigneury of Limoux was given by Henri III in the ^16th century. 3,000 hectares of vines produce still wine in AOP Limoux (red and white) and IGP Pays d'Oc (three colors). Anne de Joyeuse is also committed to protecting the environment with the Protect Planet® initiative, and to enhancing the human aspect of wine production. Last but not least, Anne Joyeuse has earned the Agriconfiance label in 2021. Discover these fine values at l'Oustal de Limoux.

Founded in 1946 as the Société des Producteurs de Blanquette de Limoux, the company became known as Sieur d'Arques in 1990, in homage to a lord of the Pays d'Oc, who adored the "flascons" of blanquette. Today, 193 member winegrowers, committed to their terroir, produce and promote this ancestral local culture. Fans of bubbles come here to taste the excellence of "sparkling wines" and "still wines", representing 1,578 ha of vineyards.

The La Cavale cooperative, which has just celebrated its centenary, is a reference in the Limoux region in terms of agricultural supplies and plant production. But the cooperative also offers a range of products that delight us, all in an eco-responsible approach: Olisoli olive oils - Le Moulin du Sou, Ardence eau de Vie, a craft beer: Alambiquée and the famous Mint, Tangerine or Lemon Crème Religieuse from the Apéroc range. You will find them in the delicatessens and the Gamm Vert stores of the Haute Vallée de l'Aude.
