STORY BEHIND THE LABEL 

Baron de Badassiere hails from the Picpoul de Pinet region in Languedoc, along the southern coast of France. The wine takes its name from the Badassiere vineyard, located near the small town of Pomérols. In the 18th century, this vineyard was owned by Baron Charles Emmanuel, a vibrant figure rumored to be the illegitimate son of King Louis XV. . This region enjoys a warm, sunny climate that brings out ripe, fruity flavours in the wines, while coastal breezes help preserve freshness and aromatic qualities.
