"The La Baronnie cuvées have a serene, digestible character, with a distinctly higher relief. Yet ripe and dense, the 2012 white, part white Grenache, part Chenin, displays great finesse." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 - RVF). A dry white offering beautiful fatness and complexity thanks to the white Grenache, while remaining very subtle... To be discovered!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine noté Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Rated 14.5/20 (Good)
About the wine:
Fragrant nose caresses the nostrils with scents of praline, baked pear and navel orange zest. Pleasant, spicy palate lacking depth, but with a thirst-quenching finish thanks to its vegetal tones.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2015 guide) 15.5/20 (Good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
La Baronnie's cuvées have a serene, digestible character, with a distinctly higher relief. Yet ripe and dense, the 2012 white, part white Grenache, part Chenin, displays great finesse.
About the domain :
A family-run wine estate since the 12th century, Château de Jonquières boasts a long line of 32 generations of winegrowers - a rare feat for the region! The wines of this estate, with their classic imprint, are always easily digestible and harmonious - a classicism that the new generation, now at the helm of the estate, does not intend to call into question, but to refine. Their dynamism and clear vision seem to pave the way for renewal. The expressive, easy-to-digest whites combine Chenin and Grenache Blanc. The reds age well, especially La Baronnie, which matures between two and eight years in bottle. Lansade, less consistent and precise, nonetheless seduces with its greediness.
