The first traces of the Fabrègue family date back to 1263, when they were reputed to be wealthy silk merchants near Lyon. In 1784, Jean de La Fabrègue commissioned the construction of the building we know today in Rivesaltes, which was later named Rombeau. From 1850 onwards, the first winemakers combined traditional expertise with modern technology to develop their wines with a constant focus on quality. Through generations of passionate winemakers, the estate has grown to 113 hectares of vines, producing Muscats de Rivesaltes, Rivesaltes, Côtes du Roussillon and Vins de Pays wines that combine finesse and strength. With their unique sense of hospitality, the family launched their own restaurant at the same time, under the impetus of Pierre-Henri de Fabrègue. The inn soon became a window to showcase the estate’s wines, offering a genuine tourist guide to the characteristics of the region and its grape varieties.

The vines are cultivated with the utmost care and benefit from organic farming practices, without chemical fertilisers or weed killers. The aim is to allow the natural cycle of the soil and biodiversity to take its course so that the Grenache Noir, Grenache Gris and Maccabeu grapes can naturally express their personality and flavours. Once harvested, the destemmed and crushed grapes undergo a meticulous fermentation, which is stopped by the addition of neutral alcohol. After ageing for some months, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels and is left to age for at least ten years before bottling.
The amber colour unveils bright, golden glints. The wine’s strong and expressive nose is marked by aromas of dried fruits with notes of sweet spices. The rich and elegant palate reveals a great aromatic finesse, perfectly balanced, leading to a sweet and flavourful finish.
