Languedoc, Chateau La Baronne, Le Grenache Gris De Jean, Vin De France, Orange
Chateau La Baronne is located in Moux, near Carcasonne, and belonged to the Ligneres family since 1890. Besides being winemakers, they've been doctors from father to son since the beginning. Located in the Montagne d'Alaric, highest point of the Languedoc which terroirs represented 4 geological eras, the family is fond of healing people the most naturally way possible; they are organic since 2007 and biodynamic since 2012!
The story
A great idea from Jean, to work the old Grenache gris in long maceration to give this white wine a lovely salmon colour, a beautiful fullness and a real minerality. A strong personality, like that of the winemaker!
