Eric, the father, has always been a winegrower. But he loves challenges, so one day, after having been technical director of Château Lafite Rothschild, he decided to revitalize the shores of the Mediterranean and bought the estate of Château d'Anglès, which was seduced by the appellation of La Clape. Let's hear it for it!
Anecdotes about the domain
"Vianney, the son: Our story is a family one for six generations. Since I was very young, I knew I wanted to be a winemaker. I always wanted to work in the vineyard. So I first went to Bordeaux to study oenology and then to business school. At the end of my studies, I worked for five years at Bollinger. Then, four years ago, I joined my parents to continue the adventure with them at Château d'Anglès."
The domain's short story
It is hard to imagine a more historic place when you know that the massif of La Clape was offered by Julius Caesar as a reward to his best legionnaires and that they were the first to plant Bourboulenc there. Today, the story continues and Eric and Vianney go even further than the simple mention "Bio" because they recently obtained the High Environmental Value Level 3 accreditation.
The winemaker's pride
Château d'Anglès is the family estate of former Château Lafite Rothschild winemaker Eric Fabre. Château d'Anglès produces some of the most expressive and elegant wines of the maritime terroir of La Clape in the South of France.
