Domaine De Baronarques

A Legacy of Winemaking

Domaine de Baronarques was founded in 1998 when Baroness Philippine de Rothschild acquired the estate alongside her sons, Philippe Sereys de Rothschild and Julian de Beaumarchais de Rothschild. They embarked on a five-year renovation project to enhance the winemaking facilities and vineyards. In 2014, their daughter, Camille Sereys de Rothschild, joined the family business, further enriching its legacy. A state-of-the-art barrel hall was inaugurated in July 2018, equipped with modern features for optimal winemaking and bottling.

A Unique Blend of Grapes

Located in Saint-Polycarpe, the estate spans 43 hectares of vineyards influenced by both the Mediterranean and Atlantic climates, ensuring ideal conditions for grape cultivation. The soil, rich in limestone and clay, supports a diverse range of grape varieties. The estate produces red wines from Bordeaux varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, alongside Syrah, Grenache, and Malbec. For white wine, 100% Chardonnay is cultivated. This diverse blend contributes to the creation of wines that are intense, complex, and true to their terroir.

Modern Winemaking Techniques

The winery features a vat room equipped with eight concrete vats and 26 temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Grapes are carefully sorted and transferred to the vats using gravity, ensuring minimal handling. Alcoholic fermentation lasts for eight days, followed by aging in oak barrels to develop the desired taste and structure. Red wines typically age for about a year, while white wines mature for around nine months. The winery welcomes visitors and offers guided tours and tastings at 10 am, 2 pm, and 3:30 pm by appointment.
