BASTIDE DE FAVE

The vineyard of the Domaine de Fave is located in Provence, in the south of France. It spans nearly 8 hectares, divided into 2 plots, around the Bastide de Fave and above the chapel of the Prieuré Notre-Dame in the municipality of Brue Auriac. Benoit and Laure Fil are the owners and winemakers. They produce rosé wines, white wines, and red wines under the Coteaux du Varois appellation. There are 8 references in the range: 3 rosés, 2 whites, and 3 reds. We cultivate excellence and authenticity with the aim of continuously improving our practices and the quality of our wines: the vineyard is managed using organic farming methods (conversion to organic in 2019), and we promote the development of a living and virtuous ecosystem around the vines, particularly through agroforestry practices and total cover cropping of the plots. This results in an elegant wine with a strong character. The estate has also been certified High Environmental Value since 2020. The main grape varieties are Syrah, Rolle, and Cinsault. Rated 94/100 by Elisabeth Gabay.
