Limoux Blanc 2019 from Domaine de Baronarques bears the Rothschild signature and introduces us to an undercover region—Limoux—that we didn’t know we needed so much. Fruity but not excessive, creamy yet with vibrant acidity; it has earned 95 points from James Suckling, and sources confirm it has appeared in royal tables and renowned restaurants worldwide!
Domaine de Baronarques belongs to the Rothschild family, which rarely leaves Bordeaux (Château Mouton Rothschild) to invest elsewhere. The Rothschild dynasty has deep roots in the wine world and a reputation for its dedication to perfection. In Limoux, Languedoc, the estate has a history tied to the renaissance of the region. After its acquisition by the Rothschilds in 1998, the teams behind Mouton and Opus One took charge to elevate it to the level of the world’s top estates and showcase the potential of its terroir.
Limoux Blanc 2019 Domaine de Baronarques consists of 96% Chardonnay and 4% Chenin Blanc, the latter added for the first time to enhance the wine’s acidity. Fermentation took place in French oak barrels, followed by 8 months of aging on the lees in a mix of barrels (one-third new, one-third one-year-old, one-third two-year-old). This technique gave the wine complexity, balance, and a refined structure that opened doors to top restaurants and official dinners of the Prince of Monaco!
Limoux Blanc 2019 Domaine de Baronarques combines the freshness of fruit with the elegance of oak, offering a tasting experience that evolves beautifully in the glass and rewards those seeking something truly special!
