It was in the heart of the Languedoc that Château de Luc was constructed in the 5th century. After centuries of preservation and some restoration, the château bears witness to the heritage of this historical site. "Terroir et équilibre" is the motto of the Château and that's exactly what the Fabre family achieve here. From vines which grow on the rocky terraces and poor soils of Corbières' Alaric mountains, they perfectly balance the freshness and concentration in their wines.
Production
Rocky terraces on limestone-clay soils. Night-harvested to preserve aromatics. With a yield of 50hl/ha. The wine is stored on its lees after fermentation with regular bâtonnage to bring further complexity and roundness.

Vivino ratings
Tasting notes
A remarkably fresh and delightfully balanced white from the south of France with fleshy fruit, savoury complexity and a whole host of pretty floral aromas including hawthorn and honeysuckle. Fleshy, herbal, aniseed and white pepper notes to balance the ripeness.
Food match
Would be great with fish and chips, or a barbecued trout stuffed with herbs.

Meet the producer
The Fabre Family have been producing wine in one way or another for over four hundred years. In 1711, the family settled in Gasparets, near Narbonne, in the Aude department of France. Louis Fabre is head of the family concern, which now includes five estates, having taken the reins in 1982. From 2014 he has been joined by a new generation, his daughters and niece: Clémence, Paule and Jeanne, respectively in charge of export sales, accounting and oenotourism.
Since 1991, Famille Fabre has been converted to organic viticulture and today 100% of its vineyards are certified organic, producing concentrated, flavoursome wines with genuine provenance.
