The trio of red, rosé and white wines is also called the “Cuvée of the Twins”. Louis Fabre took over the estate and started to produce bottled wines. In 1985, he decided to name his first wine after his first twin daughters Jeanne and Clémence who were born 6 months earlier! It is a very typical expression of the Corbières, here, how not to speak of garrigue: thyme, pepper, juniper or rosemary, a bouquet of spices in a wine with very well rounded tannins, velvety. This is the signature of the Fabre family. 2021 : James Suckling 91
