Limoux Rouge 2019 from Domaine de Baronarques uniquely combines the complexity of Languedoc with the elegance of Bordeaux-style reds (with the Rothschild family behind it). Its aromas of black fruits and spices, along with its exceptional balance, earned it 94 points from James Suckling and 91 from Decanter!
Domaine de Baronarques belongs to the Rothschild family, which very rarely ventures outside Bordeaux to invest time and expertise in other regions. With deep roots in the wine world, the Rothschilds purchased the estate in 1998 and, together with the teams from Mouton and Opus One, elevated it to one of Limoux’s top wineries. Its history is linked to the renaissance of Languedoc, with wines renowned for both their quality and outstanding value for money.
Specifically, Baronarques Limoux Rouge 2019 is a blend of 46% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Franc, 18% Syrah, 8% Malbec, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, with each variety contributing uniquely to the final wine. Merlot smooths the edges, Cabernet Franc adds freshness and aromatic intensity, while Syrah and Malbec bring depth and a spicy character. After fermentation, the wine aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (one-third new, two-thirds one and two years old), adding complexity and a velvety texture.
Limoux Rouge 2019 from Domaine de Baronarques comes from an exceptional vintage, and the balance and aristocratic finesse of the Rothschild family cannot be hidden!
