From a rocky outcrop overlooking the Mediterranean, and first planted to grapes almost 2000 years ago by Roman Legionnaires. The vineyards of this extraordinary estate are watched over by the expert eye of Eric Fabre, former Technical Director at Chateau Lafite. It is now the responsibility of the youngest son, Vianney Fabre, to craft the wines. The composition for their Classique Red can be described, thus, "Syrah for fruit and spices delicately vinified and blended with Grenache for roundness, a dash of Mourvèdre giving structure, and the refreshing minty touch from the terroir of La Clape appellation. A tasty, smooth and balanced wine to enjoy without complexes!"

The La Sizeranne displays a similar deep ruby/purple-tinged colour in addition to sweet aromas of raspberries, black currants, smoke, gun flint and spice. This full-bodied, well-made wine reveals outstanding richness, purity and overall balance.

Maison Barboulot Pinot Noir is an exquisitely simple red, ideal for enjoying on quiet nights in on the couch. Enjoy soft flavours of ripe red berries and plump cherries with a smattering of spice and the barest hint of liquorice. Pair with hearty, dishes like roast duck or beef bourguignon.
