Nestled in the heart of Corbieres, the village of  Luc-sur-Orbieu is home to about 1,000 people, a smattering of restaurants and guest houses, and – just a block off the Rue des Vignerons – the winery Famille Fabre, one of the first fully organic wineries in Corbieres. The family makes a wide range of red and white wines at generally easy-to-digest prices, and everything they make is some kind of savory. This Lux Levis cuvee is a rarity, 100% Cinsault, a grape generally relegated to the “other native grapes” section of a cepage listing. On the rare occasion this vine is allowed to get to 65 years old, it can produce a wine of stunning complexity, balance, and savor.Aromas start with bay leaf and blackberry pastille, lavender, nutmeg, and warm garrigue herbs on a hot summer evening, The palate follows up with herbs and citrus, earth and blackberries and thistle, with a lingering note of organic earth on the finish.
