Farming and Flora

Our 90 ha vineyard is surrounded by forests of holm oak, cypress and pine trees, and also by limestone "garrigue" or scrubland with a rich flora (shrub oak, rosemary, boxwood, juniper, broom, thyme, rockrose, or strawberry trees... plus two botanical curiosities: allium molly and genista villarsii.)

Grape Varieties

At La Baronne, the traditional grape varieties of the Languedoc have always been the order of the day... the old Carignans (up to 115 years old!), Grenache Noir, Syrah and Mourvedre for the reds (90% of the vineyards), or Grenache blanc, Roussane, Vermentino and Bourboulenc for the whites.

But the Lignères Family has a special affection for Carignan, constantly striving to heighten the expression, finesse and elegance of this emblematic variety of the region.

Vineyard Work

Our organic farming preserves the life of our soils; the ecosystem that surrounds us helps us in this approach.
