Winery
Château la Liquière represents 60 hectares under vine, all situated within the zone producing AOC Faugères. Every vintage the vineyard produces 10 different wines. Our offerings are the expression of our terroir, produced by our expertise and experience. Our red grape varieties are composed of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvedre and Cinsault, while our white grape varieties are represented by Grenache blanc, Roussane, Terret and Clairette.
Two wineries are located on the estate : a traditional one, equipped with underground vats in order to work with gravity, and a modern, more functional entity.
The wines are aged in different types of containers (225-litre barrels, demi-muids, vats…) in view of determining the best type of maturing and blending.
