Louis Lignères founded the Maison de Vins in 1890 and it was in 1957 that Suzette and André Lignères acquired La Baronne.

PIC SAINT LOUP OPTIMISTIC 2021 THE PATH OF DREAMS

Benoît VIOT traveled the world before settling down winemaker just north of Montpellier.
This pharmacy, a pharmacist in the industry, has always been passionate about biology and medicine. 
Before going into viticulture, he spent ten years trying to understand the wine, even going so far as to make it in his bathroom in England!
A last visit to Chile has decided to embark on this adventure.
After two years of training, in 2004, he rents 7 hectares of AOC Coteaux du Languedoc Pic Saint Loup and Grés de Montpellier vines in Combaillaux and Saint Gély du Fesc. He buys agricultural and winemaking equipment and creates “the Chemin des Rêves”. 
The name of the estate comes from a small path that runs along the vines and which had been nicknamed “Chemin des Rêves” by a resident of the village who came to walk there every day.
In 2008, he buys 7 additional hectares of vines at Saint Gély and a cellar.
In 2009, he builds a sales and tasting cellar.
In 2012, he renovates the winery.

IGP AUDE HAUTERIVE PIECE DE ROCHE CHATEAU LA BARONNE 2015

          

Grape Carignan Plantation 1892

The harvest is done in boxes, by hand on the whole field. Each parcel is vinified and aged separately until final assembly. The grapes are sorted first in the vineyard, then before and after destemming. The berries are pushed by gravity in the cement tanks, stainless steel and frustoconical wood manufactured by Marc Grenier in Courberon.

For vinification with whole grapes, we tread the grapes in the wooden vats.
Whites and rosés are vinified on whole juices.
The alcoholic fermentation is done with indigenous yeasts of the soil.
No sulfur is added before breeding. Some of our wines are sulphite-free (apart from sulphites produced by native yeasts).

Reinhard Brundig, tireless ambassador of the 7th art, is a mad wine lover. He bought Courbissac in 2002, he dreams of making wine, he is under the spell of this isolated place lost in the scrubland and the pines. He is renovating the cellar , buys the first tuns and begins to vinify the different parcels of Courbissac.
The construction is slow, you have to review the copy several times, Courbissac cannot be tamed so easily.

In 2013, he sought to renew his style, he wanted fresher, more elegant wines, and it was in November 2013 that he met Brunnhilde Claux.

At the age of 30, Brunnhilde takes over the technical part of the estate, sets up a gentle vinification, in whole bunches.

The aging is more restrained, the wines are more supple, a new page is being written for Courbissac.
And Courbissac surrenders. The wines relax, the freshness wins, a turning point begins in Courbissac.

The domain is exploited on 15 hectares of vines.
