Domaine de Baronarques 2013 (RP:90, JS:90)

Domaine de Baronarques 位於南法 Limoux AOC。酒莊歷史可追溯至 17 世紀，曾屬修道院，1998 年 Rothschild 家族看中 Limoux 產區的潛力，將它收購及全面革新。

43 公頃的葡萄園坐落於庇利牛斯山腳下（海拔 250-350 米），揉合波爾多與南法的經典品種。當地同時受大西洋與地中海的雙重氣候影響，黏土石灰岩土壤配合高密度種植，賦予葡萄酒緊緻的結構與優雅酸度。

Domaine de Baronarques is located in the Limoux AOC of Languedoc. With origins dating back to the 17th century as a monastery estate, it was acquired and fully renovated by the Rothschild family in 1998, recognizing the potential of the Limoux terroir.

Its 43-hectares of vineyards lie at the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountain (250–350 meters altitude), combining Bordeaux and southern French classic varieties. Influenced by both Atlantic and Mediterranean climates, and rooted in clay-limestone soils with high-density planting, the wines show tight structure and refined acidity.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 90 points)
It’s outstanding in 2013. Medium-bodied, fresh and lively, with a layered textured, it offers terrific notes of cassis, damp earth, licorice and a touch of minerality on nose. 

(James Suckling's rating: 90 points)
Fresh and fruity with some stone and tar undertones. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a juicy finish. A little dusty in texture.
