The Fabre Family have been producing wine in one way or another for over four hundred years since 1605. Sixteen generations later, and they now own five Châteaux in the Languedoc region of France: Grande Courtade, Tour de Rieux, Château Coulon, Château de Luc, Château Fabre Gasparets. In 1711, the family settled in Gasparets, near Narbonne, in the Aude department of France.
Louis Fabre is head of the family estate, having taken the reins in 1991, and has pioneered the conversion to organic farming, becoming one of the first Languedoc winemakers to do so. For generations, the Famille Fabre have cultivated an innate sense of invention and innovation, and openness to new ideas has become the backbone of their commitment to quality. From 2019, Louis has been joined by a new generation, including his daughters, Clémence and Jeanne, respectively in charge of export sales, and oenotourism.
Since 1991, Famille Fabre began converting to organic viticulture and today 100% of its vineyards are certified organic, producing concentrated, flavoursome wines with genuine provenance.
As part of a passion for sustaining centuries of winemaking tradition while incorporating the tenets of social equality, ecological responsibility, and economic viability, this is the reason the Famille Fabre estates decided to become HVE certified and certified fully organic by ECOCERT.
Production
Grapes grown on a combination of limestone and marl. Harvested at night, fermented in stainless steel with daily lees stirring.
Tasting Notes
Originally planted as an experiment to see if climate change had produced more favourable conditions for certain varieties. The result was a beautifully wine perfect for the summer months.
Aromatic and reminiscent of fresh cut peaches, with a subtle varietal minerality and a lovely bright, breezy freshness.
Drink either with, or while dreaming about, summer nights and BBQs.
