Heritage and Terroir of Domaine de La Baume

Domaine de La Baume is a renowned winery located in the beautiful Languedoc region of southern France. Since its acquisition by Jean Prat in 1882, this winery has built an impressive reputation as a producer of high-quality wines that embody the essence of the region's unique terroir. The Domaine de La Baume estate stretches between the picturesque towns of Béziers and Pézenas, where the vineyards benefit from a favorable climate and fertile soil. This creates ideal conditions for the growth of the grape varieties characteristic of the region.

When the grapes reach peak ripeness, they are carefully harvested and taken directly to the winery. This is followed by a rigorous selection and gentle pressing. Finally, the grapes are aged for an impressive 12 months in oak barrels.
