Intergenerational transmission<\/h2>\n

The Tour Saint Michel<\/a> family adventure began in 1930, when founder Michel Fabre acquired the first vines in the commune of Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape<\/a>. He passed on his love of winegrowing to his son Henri, later joined by his wife \u00c9liane. Together, they took up the torch and developed the 44-hectare estate, 30 of which are dedicated to Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape.<\/p>\n

The parcels are located in the Gallimardes, Crouscroute, Petites Serres and Grand Coulet districts, in other words, in the southern part of the appellation.<\/p>\n

In 2007, winemaker Mireille Porte joined the adventure, driven by her passion for the terroir, and breathed new life into the estate, while preserving the Fabre family tradition.<\/p>\n

Later, the vineyard included other plots in the northern part of the appellation, at Terres Blanches, Brusqui\u00e8res and Fargueirol. The aim is to take full advantage of the richness of the region’s soils and to produce cuv\u00e9es that are unique to Fabre, while incorporating contemporary values. Preserving nature and the terroir through sustainable viticulture is a key concern for the Tour Saint Michel team, who produce quality AOC wines that respect the environment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”15285″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The vineyard<\/h2>\n

The Tour Saint Michel estate is located in the Rh\u00f4ne Valley, which enjoys a pleasant climate with almost 3,000 hours of sunshine a year. Rainfall and the Mistral wind clean and aerate the pebbly soils, allowing the vines to benefit from conditions conducive to their vitality.<\/p>\n

Six grape varieties are used by the Fabre family. For red wines, they include Grenache, Syrah and Mourv\u00e8dre. The whites include Grenache blanc, Roussane and Clairette.<\/p>\n

As part of its commitment to responsible farming, the Tour Saint Michel estate applies a reasoned soil cultivation method, using ploughs and no chemical herbicides. It’s only natural that Maison Fabre should obtain level 3 HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certification, and since the 2020 vintage has been converting its vintages to organic farming.<\/p>\n

The wines<\/h2>\n

On the nose, Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape red gives notes of fruit and spices typical of the terroir. Its ruby-red, deep garnet to purple color reflects the typical sunshine that cradles Rh\u00f4ne Valley grape varieties. On the palate, the different vintages offer something for every palate, from full-bodied red wines to powerful, expressive to velvety aromas.<\/p>\n

The white Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape reveals a subtle golden color like the setting sun. The combination of Clairette and Grenache grapes produces floral aromas and freshness on the palate, a perfect accompaniment to iodized dishes.<\/p>\n

The red C\u00f4tes-du-Rh\u00f4ne has a crimson color and aromas of red fruits. A pleasant mealtime wine, to be enjoyed young.<\/p>\n

The white and ros\u00e9 C\u00f4tes-du-Rh\u00f4ne reveal notes of stone fruit, freshness and gourmandise. Easy to drink as an aperitif, they also go perfectly with summer dishes.<\/p>\n
