Baronarques Rouge 2013 75cl

This Languedoc estate, which goes back to the 17th century, was bought by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild (of Château Mouton Rothschild) and her two sons in December 1998, when it was known as Domaine de Lambert. Following the purchase, they invested considerably in the estate - renovating the vineyards and cellars which took 5 years to complete. Expanding over 100 hectares (of which 48 are planted to vines), there is notable diversity to its soils, micro-climates and varieties. The land lies in Limoux, a region that is mostly known for its sparkling wines as well as its still Chardonnay. In 2005, the Limoux appellation was changed to include red wines. The Rothschilds produce two wines: a Chardonnay, as well as a red blend produced from Syrah, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
