Showing much better from bottle than barrel and one of the finest whites coming from the Languedoc is the 2015 Limoux Grand Vin Blanc from Domaine de Baron’arques. Made from 100% Chardonnay that was raised all in barrels, it offers terrific notes of crisp peach, pineapple, citrus blossom and a hint of brioche in a medium-bodied, vibrantly pure, balanced package. Drink it over the coming 2-4 years.
Producer
Vignoble Baron Philippe de Rothschild
This Languedoc estate, which goes back to the 17th century, was bought by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild (of Château Mouton Rothschild) and her two sons in December 1998, when it was known as Domaine de Lambert. Following the purchase, they invested considerably in the estate - renovating the vineyards and cellars which took 5 years to complete. Expanding over 100 hectares (of which 48 are planted to vines), there is notable diversity to its soils, micro-climates and varieties. The land lies in Limoux, a region that is mostly known for its sparkling wines as well as its still Chardonnay. In 2005, the Limoux appellation was changed to include red wines. The Rothschilds produce two wines: a Chardonnay, as well as a red blend produced from Syrah, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
