Château La Liquière is a family winery that has been passed on several generations, and is nestled in the natural park of the Haut Languedoc. The vineyard, planted in Mediterranean grapes, is located in the highest part of the appellation Faugères, which is singular by its composition : only schist! Micro-management of the vineyard is done, as well as in the cellar : each block/group of parcels is fermented separately. Certified organic.

A complex wine with overtones of black fruits and thyme coupled with menthol and garrigue notes. Shows lots of character in its youth but also has huge ageing potential.

Works well with duck, marinated meats and full-flavoured cheeses.
