"A collection of first-class estates With properties spread across the most prestigious vineyards of the Haut-Médoc, Domaines Fabre has a solid expertise in growing premium quality grapes. They attribute their success to the ideal viticultural conditions of the region, namely the temperate, maritime climate and the gravelly, clayey limestone soils. Optimal soils The gravelly soils warm up quickly in the spring, retaining and radiating heat, helping late-ripening grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon achieve balanced ripeness. Merlot thrives on the clay-limestone soils, giving a fresh, velvety expression that counterbalances the more powerful and tannic Cabernet Sauvignon. Traditional winemaking techniques After manual harvesting, rigorous hand sorting and de-stemming, the grapes from the Domaine Fabre estates are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel for the Merlot and Cabernet, while the muscular Petit Verdot is fermented in oak. The wines are then aged in French oak barrels for one year. Favorite food and wine pairings A third-generation Fabre descendant and the group's export director, Jean-Hubert Fabre knows his Haut-Médoc food and wine pairings! He recommends serving Chateau Lamothe-Cissac with a nice prime rib slowly cooked over the embers of Cabernet Sauvignon vine cuttings from the Médoc."
