Famille Fabre wishes you a year 2023 under the sign of CONVIVENCIA*.

* A state of peace where different ideas coexist. Living together, living with, moments of sharing and conviviality!

Drawing by the talented @honoreperrine « Famille Fabre climate and biodiversity » :

What we live here in Languedoc, and our commitment for 2023:

CLIMATE Sun and windmill,

AGRO ECOLOGY Vines, trees, hedges, fields and green cover plantation

BIODIVERSITY Snakes & insect hostels, bees, birds nesting box, and dragon fly protection

Upon Biocoop request, a French retail chain of organic products, the caps are disappearing. Our rosé and Corbières Chateau Coulon are beginning !

But what is the purpose of the capsule? 

It has a great use because in France we pay a tax on each bottle sold. This tax is represented by the Marianne on the capsules. When the Marianne does not appear, the customs authorities allow us to replace it with a Simplified Accompanying Document, the DSA. This is a form that must follow the sold bottle from our warehouse to the customer’s warehouse. Then the invoice takes over from the wine merchant to your dining room! It proves that the bottle has been sold and that the tax has been paid.

And for exportation? No need! It’s just an habit we took, but the wines could travel without this caps!

Ecological argument

So, that’s a bit more paperwork for France, yes… but above all a bit less packaging. And isn’t it said that the best packaging for our planet is the one that doesn’t exist?

So LET’S REMOVE THE CAPS, and Cheers!

To all wine professionals

Importers, wine shops, journalists, etc…

Guy Delisle*, famous author of comics (the chronicles of Jerusalem), draws the label of the Fabre Famille orange wine , a vibrant tribute to their ancestor Louis Andrieu.

How did our Orange Wine Louis Andrieu wine label was created?

On the picture: Clémence Fabre, ( baby girl Joséphine ) and a very talented Canadian cartoon drawer, Guy Delisle!

The first label from GENERATION new range were born this way; many family history details for Guy Delisle who translated it into a colourful, happy label, with its nice touch of fun!

After a few months our project came to reality with our  GENERATION range – Irma Coulon or Louis Andrieu wines!
Joséphine also grown as you can see ! Thanks to Guy for this tribute given to our ancestors.

*Guy Delisle Guy Delisle (born January 19, 1966) is a Canadian cartoonist and animator, best known for his graphic novels about his travels, such as Shenzhen (2000), Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea (2003), Burma Chronicles (2007), and Jerusalem(2011).

We begin with Aktio Famille Fabre carbon spending analysis, in order to have a clear image of our energy expenses, to analyze them and to see where and how we can improve our footprint.

What is Carbon accounting or greenhouse gas accounting? It refers to processes used to measure how much carbon dioxide equivalents an organization emits. It is used by states, corporations, and individuals to create the carbon credit commodity traded on carbon markets (or to establish the demand for carbon credits).

Carbon accounting is likened to sustainability measurement, as an instance of ecological modernisation discourses and policy. Carbon accounting is hoped to provide a factual ground for carbon-related decision-making.

Let’s meet in a few months for the results!
