The Story

Chateau La Baronne is located in Moux, near Carcasonne and is the story of a family of doctors winemakers. Louis Ligneres founded the estate in 1890, and the first bottling of the wines started in 1970, with the 3rd generation. Today, Jean and Anne, 5th generation, passionately take care of the 35 hectares of vineyards, that they farmed organically since 2007 and in biodynamic since 2012! The vineyard is located in the Montagne d'Alaric, one of the highest points of Languedoc and exceptional terroir where 4 great geological eras are represented. The vines of the estate are planted at an altitude of between 100 and 200 m on a wide variety of terraces, valleys and gravel hillsides. The soils come from limestone, clay and sandstone formations, mainly from the Tertiary and Quaternary periods. Fond of protecting the nature, Jean and Anne are eager to make the most natural wines possible, using ancient winemaking methods (jar, cement, ceramic, eggs) as well as new.
