92 James Suckling
A firm and silky red with berry, dried meat and stone character. Some paprika. Medium to full body, polished chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. One of the best reds from here yet. Blend of merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, syrah and malbec. Drink now or hold.
91 Robert Parker
Rich and textured, with loads of upfront charm, the 2014 Limoux Domaine de Baron’Arques checks in as a blend of 46% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc, 13% Syrah, 9% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. Like all vintages here, it was raised in barrels, with roughly 25% being new. It offers up lots of currants, spicy oak, licorice and herbs in a medium to full-bodied, textured style that does well in the vintage. It’s already drinking nicely, yet will keep through 2024.

Producer
Vignoble Baron Philippe de Rothschild
This Languedoc estate, which goes back to the 17th century, was bought by Baroness Philippine de Rothschild (of Château Mouton Rothschild) and her two sons in December 1998, when it was known as Domaine de Lambert. Following the purchase, they invested considerably in the estate - renovating the vineyards and cellars which took 5 years to complete. Expanding over 100 hectares (of which 48 are planted to vines), there is notable diversity to its soils, micro-climates and varieties. The land lies in Limoux, a region that is mostly known for its sparkling wines as well as its still Chardonnay. In 2005, the Limoux appellation was changed to include red wines. The Rothschilds produce two wines: a Chardonnay, as well as a red blend produced from Syrah, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
