Château d'Anglès

With a lifetime in wine making, Eric Fabre’s career includes eight years as Technical Director of Château Lafite Rothschild, as well as taking a much lesser known Médoc label to the highest accolades in only 6 years.

It was however, a lifelong dream to own a vineyard on the Mediterranean, so 2001 saw Eric and his wife Christine hunting from Perpignan to Nîmes for a high quality terroir. They were quickly seduced by the Château d’Anglès, and what a very understandable temptation! The beautiful renovated ancient stone buildings of the Château d’Anglès overlook the vines that slope gently down to the shores of the Mediterranean.

Hard really to imagine a more idyllic setting and just as hard to imagine a family more passionately dedicated to the constant improvement of the quality of their wines.

In the short time that the Fabre family has owned Château d’Anglès they have succeeded in revealing the true potential of this vineyard, and now have a range of award winning wines to show for their enthusiasm and commitment.

The vineyards are surrounded by the vegetation of the “garrigue”, including pines, thyme, rosemary, juniper and the aromatic cistus bushes, which contributes to the aromas that give the wines of this terroir their specifically Mediterranean flavour.

This apparently dry and hostile environment belies its generosity, and in fact, the hard, stony, well-draining limestone soil, together with the sunny climate, all combine to offer exceptional wine growing conditions.

This hard work have been rewarded by more than 40 medals in five years, (five Gold in 2006, seven Gold in 2007), and numerous selections in the best wine guidebooks.
