Wine domaine in Provence - Wine AOC Côtes du
Luberon
Domaine
Faverot is a family run winery and cellar,
established in 1920 and completely restored in 1999 by the
Faverot de Kerbrech family. Situtated in the sun-baked foothills
of the Luberon range of mountains south east of Avignon,
it nestles among the famous "perched villages of the
Luberon". |
 |
The Domaine is surrounded by pine
woods and wild herbs. |
|
 |
It
covers 7 hectares of vines planted in the Appellation controlled
area of Côtes
du Luberon. The varieties are Syrah, Grenache, Mouvèdre
and Carignan for the reds and rosé and Grenache Gris,
Rolle and Roussanne for the white.

Vineyards
The soil varieties found at Domaine Faverot
are a mixture of sandy loams and river bed scree over limestone.
In
the appelation controlée of the Côtes du Luberon
the vines are traditionally trained as bush vines "en gobelet" or
on trellissed cordons with vertical shoot positioning.
Domaine Faverot comprises several parcels of vines, some of which were planted
as long ago as 1920 and 1945 as well as in the "60"s and the "70"s.
The
vines are cultivated organically without recourse to chemical fertilisers, pesticides
and herbicides. The production of grape bunches is voluntarily
limited to around 8 bunches per vine giving fairly low yield of between
30 to 40 hl/ha. This ensures a greater concentration of juice in the
grapes leading to a higher quality wine. |
