Domaine de Baronarques Limoux Rouge 2019 750ml

Domaine de Baronarques belongs to the Baron Philippe de Rothschild family of Château Mouton Rothschild. Baroness Philippine de Rothschild and her sons bought it in 1998, and it sits near Limoux in the Languedoc, with 43 hectares of vines at 250 to 350 meters on clay and limestone.

The 2019 blends 46% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Franc, 18% Syrah, 8% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon. It aged 12 months in French oak, a third of it new. It's 15% alcohol and sealed with a cork.

It shows macerated black fruit and dried flowers opening to spice, licorice and mint, then a structured, sappy palate with dense, elegant tannins, dark chocolate and a long, silky, peppery finish.

Against Villa Antinori Rosso, Baronarques is denser and more serious; for a Bordeaux-style red with Mouton pedigree, choose Baronarques.

Decant it and serve with lamb, duck or beef.
