Château Haut Lignières
Château Haut Lignières sits in Faugères, the hillside appellation of Languedoc-Roussillon where schist soils and Mediterranean sun shape wines of mineral precision and dark fruit intensity. The estate works with the classic Midi varieties—Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah—blending them into expressions that balance structure with the region's natural warmth. Le 1er Faugères Rosé, built from Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Grenache, demonstrates the appellation's capacity for dry, textured rosé beyond the typical Provençal mold. Carmina Butis Faugéres, a red blend of Mourvedre, Grenache, and Syrah, anchors the portfolio in the darker, more tannic end of the Faugères spectrum. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate.
