Château Maris is the first European vineyard to obtain B Corporation® certification, a label recognized by the UN and the European Commission. B Corporation® certification promotes companies that transform their business into a virtuous force for good: good for workers, good for communities, and good for the environment. Their goal has always been to produce quality wines by adopting practices that respect not only nature, but also the men and women with whom we work. Château Maris is committed to inspiring other wineries and companies to adopt sustainable agricultural practices and socially responsible corporate policies.

Premier Cru recognized in Languedoc in 1999, La Livinière (meaning “place planted with vines”) is located in the heart of the Minervois, between Toulouse and Montpellier. The Cru is located at the foot of the Montagne Noire, it includes the old villages of La Livinière, Félines- Minervois and Siran. This sector benefits both from a spring mildness allowing it to escape the late frost and from a freshness coming from the mountains and other north winds.

The terroir is home to a mixture of schist, sandstone, quartz, marble, and limestone that has been present for more than 50 million years. The soils are composed of sand and clay strewn with pebbles and form terraces at altitudes conducive to the cultivation of vines. Nourished by the Mediterranean sun and swept by the fresh wind from the Black Mountains and the Pyrenees, the vines benefit from a privileged climate. Fig trees, broom, thyme, olive trees, oaks, and pines influence the plots, giving the wines of Château Maris a unique personality.
