"THE BIODYNAMIC APOSTLES OF THE LANGUEDOC" Wine Spectator
"Château Maris is a great place to start to explore the Languedoc. These wines are all beautifully made and have tons of character, and represent rock solid values." Wine Advocate: April 29, 2016
Château Maris estates are located in the heart of Minervois, in the Cru of La Livinière, in the Languedoc. The winery is the vision of the talented wine maker Robert Eden, who over 20 years emigrated to France from Great Britain to pursue his dream of making wines that truly reflect the land on which the grapes are grown. Robert's approach is rooted in the premise that wine is "grown", not "made". He has been the driving force behind the push toward biodynamic and sustainable farming in the region. The entire estate is certified by both Demeter and Biodyvin. According to Robert, the commitment to biodynamic and sustainable principles should not be limited to vineyard practices alone. He has gone as far as building the world's first new winery out of massive hemp "bricks". Run environmentally efficiently, The winery generates zero carbon emission. It was constructed using hemp, lime and wood. Neither heating equipment nor air conditioners are needed, so the building functions without any energy consumption.
The estate produces an array of wines, reasonably priced, and in most cases, represent incredible values. The wines of Château Maris are a great example of high quality wines from this special terroir.
