A distinct step away from the usual wine making style at Famile Fabre.
Production
This wine comes from a clay limestone terrace, using only one plot of land that was planted in the early 1990s from selected vines from Condrieu. When fully ripe, grapes are harvested by hand and at night to preserve their freshness and aromas. The vinification, ageing, battonage, and also the malolactic fermentation processes all take place in 225-litre new French oak barrels where the wines stays for 6 months with regular batonnage.

Tasting notes
Hovers just the right side of 'big and daft'. Brilliant golden hue, this wine is intensely flavoured with notes of candied citrus fruits, marmalade, peach and roasted almonds.
Food match
Oppulent and intensely flavoured dishes such a tagine with apricots and preserved lemon.

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.
