The next generation of André, a general practitioner and Suzette, a pharmacist, was assured by their children, Jean, a village doctor like his father in Moux, and his wife Anne, Paul, dentist, and Geneviève, pharmacist-biologist. the Lignères Family's links with the world of wine go back to the 16th century in the villages of Fontcouverte and Moux. Louis Lignères founded the Maison de Vins in 1890 and it was in 1957 that Suzette and André Lignères acquired La Baronne.
A team of passionate people serving the terroir of the Montagne d'Alaric. In the wines of La Baronne, they try to translate this respect and passion, by practicing a biological culture highlighting the terroir of this privileged region of Languedoc - Roussillon.

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).
