Chateau de Luc

Today we left Nice and had a morning stop at Chateau de Luc, in Luc-sur-Orbieu. This is the home of the Fabre family and their multiple wineries. They have been making wine since 1605 and at this winery since the 1800's.

Luc-sur-Orbieu, in the southwest corner of France, is in the Languedoc region, which is the largest wine producing region in France. It is a hot and dry region, producing mainly Syrah, Grenache and Rose.

The Fabre family produces 1.5 million bottles a year and the company is still family owned and run. Their underground cellar dates from the 1400's.

We tried a Viogner, Cinsault and a 2020 Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedre blend, which was the best.Läs mer
