Fabre en Provence was created in 1920 by Henri Fabre Sr. in the village of Besse sur Issole. At that time the company was already selling wine from Provence and the best of France,

hand selected from our ancestor. He quickly became the largest producer in the South of France. After the acquisition of Château de la Clapière in 1928 and Château de L'Aumérade in

1932, Henri Fabre Senior devoted himself exclusively to his wineries.

He was one of the first to own a bottling line and working for the recognition of Côtes de Provence. His son Louis Fabre joined him in the 50's and helped develop the business in

France and abroad. While Maison Fabre had been put on standby, Louis Fabre and Henri Fabre Junior decided to revive the company by modernizing the distribution channel, and

focusing on providing service and quality to their customers.

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Wine Maker Notes:  

 Pale pink. Aromas and flavors of pink grapefruit, redcurrant and white pepper show very good clarity and energy. Concentrated flavors of a Syrah, Cinsault and Grenache-SAME GRAPES AS CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE-, with a nervy acid structure providing  weight,shape and lift. Finishes taut and minerality, with an echo of red berries.  TRULY A RED WINE DRINKER'S ROSE!

WOW - $14.95/BTL.!!!!

At Grape Wine Company we are always on the lookout for an exceptional White Bordeaux and we have found another one yet again and again and it keeps getting sold out each time -IMMEDIATELY- as soon as it "lands" here, OFTEN we go for many months without having it in the warehouse. 

From the southern region of Bordeaux where the clay-limestone soil is ideal to produce world renowned Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. This is a well-rounded wine with delightful volume, richness and yet is still crisp and super clean. There are pleasant notes of white daisies on the nose with the presence of lime and grapefruit on the palate. There is a hint of smokiness on the finish due to the Semillon. It is a delightful classy drink for both light meals and casual sipping.. perfect for parties too, WE ALWAYS KEEP TWO BOTTLES, NOT JUST ONE, IN THE FRIDGE BY THE POOL , FOR REAL, just like the Provence rose!

 

A favorite at Chateau Ressel with cold refreshing ceviche or salade nicoise or shrimp cocktail! Basically a VERY DANGEROUS wine!

 
Sante!
