Limoux (French pronunciation: (listen); Occitan: Limós [liˈmus]) is a commune and subprefecture in the Aude department, a part of the ancient Languedoc province and the present-day Occitanie region in southern France. Its vineyards are famous for being first to produce sparkling wine known as Blanquette de Limoux. Limoux lies on the river Aude about 30 km (19 mi) due south of Carcassonne. It has two railway stations on the line to Carcassonne: Limoux station and Limoux-Flassian station. Blanquette de Limoux is produced around the city of Limoux. The main grape of the wine is Mauzac, followed by Chardonnay and Chenin blanc. Wine historians believe that the world's first sparkling wine was produced in this region in 1531, by the monks at the abbey in Saint-Hilaire, Aude. More information...
