IGP AUDE HAUTERIVE PIECE DE ROCHE CHATEAU LA BARONNE 2015

          

Grape Carignan Plantation 1892

The harvest is done in boxes, by hand on the whole field. Each parcel is vinified and aged separately until final assembly. The grapes are sorted first in the vineyard, then before and after destemming. The berries are pushed by gravity in the cement tanks, stainless steel and frustoconical wood manufactured by Marc Grenier in Courberon.

For vinification with whole grapes, we tread the grapes in the wooden vats.
Whites and rosés are vinified on whole juices.
The alcoholic fermentation is done with indigenous yeasts of the soil.
No sulfur is added before breeding. Some of our wines are sulphite-free (apart from sulphites produced by native yeasts).

Irouleguy Domaine Etxondoa Olivier Pouchoulou 2020 75cl

Grape varieties: 100% Tanat

After studying oenology in Bordeaux and Burgundy, then gaining experience working in Côte-Rôtie, in the Rhône, Olivier Pouchoulou decided to return in 2019 to his native land, the Basque Country. Based in Ispoure, he devotes himself to the breeding of his tannats and his cabernet francs, the first vintage of which was produced in 2020. He initially planted 2,5 hectares of vines, then extended his operation by taking into account renting 2 additional hectares on AOC Irouléguy land.

Vinification is carried out with 2/3 whole harvests, followed by gentle vatting lasting 42 days. Subsequently, the wines are aged for 12 months exclusively in old barrels, from Burgundy, thus giving the wines a subtle complexity and remarkable elegance.

PIC SAINT LOUP WOLF HOPPER 2021 THE WAY OF DREAMS

Before going into viticulture, he spent ten years trying to understand the wine, even going so far as to make it in his bathroom in England!

The name of the estate comes from a small path that runs along the vines and which had been nicknamed “Chemin des Rêves” by a resident of the village who came to walk there every day.
In 2008, he buys 7 additional hectares of vines at Saint Gély and a cellar.
In 2009, he builds a sales and tasting cellar.
In 2012, he renovates the winery.

Corbières The Baroness Les Lanes 2020 Lignières Family

             

The history of the Lignères family is that of doctors who have wine in their veins! The succession of André, general practitioner and Suzette, pharmacist, was ensured by their children, Jean, village doctor like his father in Moux, and his wife Anne, Paul, dentist, and, Geneviève, pharmacist-biologist. The Lignères family's links with the world of wine date back to the 16th century in the villages of Fontcouverte and Moux. Louis Lignères founded the Maison de Vins in 1890 and it was in 1957 that Suzette and André Lignères acquired La Baronne.

A team of enthusiasts at the service of the Montagne d'Alaric terroir. In the wines of La Baronne, they try to translate this respect and this passion, by practicing an organic culture located in value the soil of this privileged region of Languedoc - Roussillon.

At La Baronne, the traditional grape varieties of Languedoc have always been honored... but the Lignères family has a particular penchant for Carignan. Magnifying the expression, transmitting the finesse and elegance of this emblematic grape variety of the region in the wines is a constant challenge.
