La Liquière (château)

Information

Description

Nestled in the midst of the Haut Languedoc regional park, the Faugères wine region is unique in that its soils are schist, and nothing but!
An unusual occurence in Languedoc with a strong identity.
La Liquière's vineyards are located in the highest parts of the appellation. They look out over the Mediterranean, offering a priviledged working environment, and a prime site for growing fine wines...
Clinging to these schist soils, our vines are ensconced amidst the garrigue, holm oak woodlands and maquis.
Althought the soils are all the same type, they are anything but monotonous. Elevations range from 150 to 350 m, leaving us a precious choice of options for planting our vines:
Manual work holds pride of place and the entire estate is farmed organically.
The vineyards currently cover 60 hectares and the varietal range has remained loyal to the Mediterranean grapes.
Our vineyard sites are precious. They are extremely uncommon for Languedoc - both because of the schist and the altitude - and are also demanding. There is little soil, some vineyards are very steep and yields are diminutive...
We like to say that our wines are made in the vineyard, illustrating the importance of our vineyard sites and the quest for a perfect crop.
Each vineyard block or group of vineyards displaying the same style are fermented separately. We strive to show respect for each vineyard site and micro vineyard by treating them individually, which is painstaking work.
In the winery, there is no set formula - after all, each vintage is unique.
We draw on our sensitivity to try and adapt to the style of the vintage.
Ther is no cutting-edge technology - the wine making process aims for simplicity and a very gentle approach.
Our range of labels is extensive - with 8 red wines, 4 whites and 3 rosés - mirroring our passion for creation.
From the most accessible wines to the highly differentiated offerings, we want each and every one to have a story to tell...
There is a common thread running through all these wines - obviously the terroir, but also the same quest for purity and precision, without ever disavowing the characters of the South.
