Valflaunès (Castle of)
Située sur un éboulis millénaire au pied du château de Montferrand, la totalité (13 ha.) est actuellement en production.
Les six cépages (Syrah,Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Roussane, Marsanne) qui la composent ont été replantés à partir de 1998.
La densité de plantation varie de 3300 pieds/ha. pour les plus vieilles vignes, à 6200 pieds/ha. pour les plus jeunes.
Production moyenne : 80.000 bouteilles
La spécificité de l'exploitation résulte de la vinification par assemblage des raisins durant la cuvaison.
Pendant dix ans, Fabien Reboul poursuit ses études en vitioenologie et parcourt le monde.
Ses premières approches en Côtes du Rhône l'autorisent à remonter jusqu'au Hautes Côtes de Beaune où il vinifiera les délicats "Corton Charlemagne".
Outre Atlantique, sa soif de connaissance le dépose en Orégon, et plus tard il se retrouve "la tête en bas" en Nouvelle Zélande, afin d'y découvrir une nouvelle lumière.
L'ouverture au monde, à la pluralité de ses cultures, permet à Fabien Reboul de créer ses vins d'exception dont il imagine l'ébauche au fil des paysages et des hommes qu'il rencontre.
Son terroir si particulier en Pic Saint Loup, l'acharnement du maître d'oeuvre et sa passion, tout cela fait des créations de Fabien une oeuvre à son image : originale, métissée, équilibrée et surtout sincère.
La culture de la vigne commence par celle de l'homme.
What does the name organize mean?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
