If Chateau de Luc is the signature of the Fabre family, Fabre-Gasparets is the flagship! This top-ofthe-range vintage is, for critics and professionals, a great fine wine! AOC Boutenac cru classé in Languedoc, plot selections, 12 months of barrel aging – 1/3 new, 1/3 1 year old and 1/3 2 years old and also aging in egg-shaped tanks: diversity brings complexity! We have chosen to discard the Grenache which, when ripe, can give prune notes with age. Here, you have a great wine for aging! Lots of freshness even after 10/15 years. 2020 : James Suckling 91/100, Decanter 90 2019 : Wine Enthusiast 92 Best Buy, RVF, Jancis Robinson 17,5/20, James Suckling 92/100
