Toques & Clochers: A look back at the 2023 edition
Friday April 14, 2023 saw the 34th edition of Toques & Clochers, a major wine and gastronomy event organized by Sieur d'Arques.
The aim of the event is to promote different villages in the Limoux vineyards, and an auction takes place at the end of a gastronomic lunch, with part of the proceeds going towards the restoration of the bell tower of the organizing village.
This year’s menu, created and served by the Sieur d’Arques teams, was entirely created by Chef Christophe Bacquié. It included a tartare of scarlet Gambon with “Osciètre” caviar accompanied by a slightly acidic velvet of samphire; a filet of Saint Pierre with roasted white asparagus, stuffed morel mushroom, and onion and tagetes oil jus; line hake cooked in sparkling butter with potatoes and black truffles; and pink grapefruit in different textures and a batak berry infusion.
We would like to thank the teams at Sieur d’Arques, organizers of Toques & Clochers, for the trust they have placed in us for 34 years.
Over the years, the event has become a must for lovers of fine wines and gastronomy.
Over and above the quality of the dishes on offer, Toques & Clochers is a true tribute to the Limoux terroir and winegrowing tradition.
It’s a unique opportunity to discover the riches of this vineyard, while savoring the finest food and wine pairings.
