Lux Range
Lux Range
A luminous and bold collection. Sulfite-free wines, vibrant, expressive, and committed, that reveal the pure energy of the grape and the creative spirit of the Fabre family.
HISTORY
Chateau de Luc welcomes visitors to taste their vintages in the old stables which have been converted to a tasting cellar. The vineyards are situated on the rocky terraces of the Orbieu river and the windy foothills of Mount Alaric. This terroir yields concentrated and well balanced wines. The underground cellars dating back to the fourteenth century are a unique testimony to history. Each bottle from the Famille Fabre is an invitation to discover our terroir and our mythical cellar.
TERROIR
The vineyards of Chateau de Luc have a rich diversity of soils: recent alluvial soil, rolled pebble soil, and deep plots of limestone that dates back to the Miocene. They offer little fertility and high minerality.
CLIMATE
The strong Cers (North-west wind) blows down from the garrigue and infuses the wines with aromas of juniper and rosemary.
CHARACTER & TRADITION
As sunlight passes through glass, so does the landscape pass through wine.” In the case of Chateau de Luc, the wines draw their personality from the beautiful Corbières. Always inventive, the winemakers have recently started testing Carignan in oval tanks (eggs) and 4 amphorae which have recently been brought into the cellar. They should allow slow micro-oxygenation and a continuous mixing of lees without human intervention.
