The Fabre Montmayou Estate is an exceptional vineyard nestled in the heart of the Lujan de Cuyo region in Argentina. Perched at an altitude of 1050 meters, it offers an idyllic setting for the production of high-end wines. The vineyard covers an area of 125 hectares and enjoys a privileged position that allows it to benefit from a Mediterranean climate with sunny days and cool nights, creating a perfect environment for grape maturation. The Estate was established in 1992 by Hervé Joyaux Fabre, a Bordeaux native who saw the potential of the old Malbec vines. After investing in the purchase of vineyards planted in the 19th century, he transformed the Fabre Montmayou Estate into one of the most respected wineries in Argentina, producing high quality wines that stand out for their freshness, finesse and elegance. The terroir of the estate is mainly composed of pebbles and loess, a crumbly sedimentary rock. These poor and draining soils offer ideal conditions for the vines to draw deeply from the soil to obtain the nutrients and water they need. This contributes to the production of concentrated berries that produce rich and profound wines. The Fabre Montmayou Estate is known for its Malbec wines, but it also produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure a rigorous selection of berries and the wines are then aged in oak barrels in accordance with French tradition. The estate's flagship wine, the Fabre Montmayou Grand Vin, is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot showing a beautiful structure, complexity and a lingering finish. It is a perfect wine to accompany red meats and cheese.

These include Catena Zapata, Bodega Septima and Cheval des Andes. The small town of Luján de Cuyo is on the northern banks of the Mendoza River. From here the viticultural area of the same name stretches south for roughly 30 kilometers (20 miles) between the Andes Mountains in the west and the Lunlunta hills in the east. The region was the first in Argentina to be officially recognized as an appellation in 1993, and includes the wine-producing zones of Vistalba, Las Compuertas, Perdriel, Agrelo and Ugarteche.

MaipuLies directly east of Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley is to the south. The region's position on the edge of the imposing Andes mountain chain has an enormous effect on the Terroir.

Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc

Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.
