The Paths - White - Château La Baronne

Presentation of Les Chemins - White - Château La Baronne

The Les Chemins Blanc cuvée embodies all the elegance of a Corbières white wine from an exceptional terroir, nestled in the foothills of the Montagne d'Alaric. This wine, certified Demeter and Biodyvin , is the fruit of a subtle blend of Grenache Blanc , Vermentino and Roussanne , emblematic grape varieties of the south of France. On the palate, Les Chemins Blanc seduces with its gourmet roundness and liveliness , offering a remarkable balance between freshness and complexity . The aromas open with notes of white and yellow fleshed fruits (peach, pear, apricot), delicately enhanced by a floral touch. The finish, mineral and saline , perfectly reflects the richness of the estate's limestone soils.

HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

In the heart of the Corbières, nestled in the foothills of the Montagne d'Alaric, Château La Baronne is a family estate that embodies the soul of Languedoc. For over a century, the Lignères family, passionate doctors and winemakers , have watched over this exceptional vineyard located in a preserved natural ecosystem. On these lands shaped by the four great geological eras, the vines flourish between 100 and 200 meters above sea level, on soils rich in clay, limestone and sandstone. Centenary Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, but also Vermentino, Roussanne or even Grenache blanc and gris: the emblematic grape varieties of the south express themselves here with authenticity. From Louis Lignères, who founded the house in 1890, to Jean and Anne, who perpetuate its spirit today, five generations have succeeded one another with the same desire: to reveal the beauty of the Alaric terroirs through sincere, lively and committed vintages.
