Acquired by Henri and Charlotte Fabre in 1930, the Château de l'Aumérade is the largest of the six estates of the family. The 300 hectares of vineyards are situated in a vast clay-limestone plain of Pierrefeu. Its terroir delivers wines aged since 1955 in the elite of Crus Classés.
PIERREFEU-DU-VAR
Cuvée Louis Fabre - Côtes de Provence AOP
The robe is black. Nose of red fruits on a slightly vanilla background. There is a great concentration of aroma which requires a slight aeration by carafing for it to express itself.
On the palate, the concentration is confirmed as much in the aromas as in the balance. Very well-structured wine with silky and generous tannins, embedded in a material that covers the entire palate.
It is better to wait a few years to soften it and express all its potential.
