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.
