THE HERITAGE OF FAMILY TRADITION
The Fabre family have never stopped their love for the terroirs of Minervois.
For three generations, they devoted their life time to create diversities and new possibilities here.
The story started from the grandfather, Pierre. He was a very smart man. It’s him who started the fishing culture in this region.
Then the father, Robert, was living in a difficult historical time. At that time, he made a bold decision about moving vineyard to the slopes. Surprisingly, the grapes is very adapted to live on the slopes. Thus, Robert became the pioneer of the region, someone who made a revolution in the vineyard!
The story continues.
Nowadays, his son, Michel, is producing the wines of great quality for all over the world.
Je crois beaucoup à la synergie des cultures, des idées, des compétences pour élaborer un grand projet. La force de la Croix de St Jean réside dans l’équipe qui l’anime, uniquement familiale. Trois générations assurent son quotidien. A 78 ans, mon père Robert, représente la force, la tradition,le courage, l’exemple et la sagesse. Virginie, mon épouse et moi même apportons la modernité, le professionnalisme et la rigueur du métier. Alexis et Annabelle, nos enfants, sont totalement impliqués dans l’exploitation, ils communiquent leur fougue, leur énergie et représentent l’avenir.
Winery is not a simple technique. It’s a combination of culture, creativity, and capability.
