Domaine la Florane represented the wines made from vines in Visan, on land handed down by the family of Marie-Pierre Fabre. The vines in Saint-Maurice, meanwhile, bore the name of Domaine de l’Échevin. Guillaume de Rouville, a family ancestor who was mayor of Lyon in 1586, owned land in the Rhône Valley, back when silk ruled supreme. He inspired the name Domaine de l’Échevin, created by François Fabre in the 1990s. In 2001, the family’s two estates began using the same, specially-built vat room / cellar, but each estate kept its name. Then in 2019, they were united at last. The cuvée names are unchanged: Échevin and Guillaume de Rouville are still used for the wines from the Saint-Maurice appellation. Three generations of vignerons, two terroirs, but the same family spirit. And a shared philosophy that now underpins a single identity.We let vines grow as naturally as possible, with respect for fauna and flora, and in tune with the stars. Removing wines’ artificial and pointless layers. And offering sincerity in our cuvées by showing they are immortal! This is what animates us, and why we farm Domaine la Florane biodynamically. In the southern Rhône Valley, in Provence, we love making wines that exude the terroir’s enriching presence. In this woodland-hemmed haven where we live, above the villages of Visan and Saint-Maurice, we make pleasurable and elegant wines. Nature first “Stay faithful to our innermost intuitions, and to our dreams as well.” The dreams shared by François Fabre and his son Adrien. Reconnecting with the land, paying homage to it, protecting it, and making sure that everything they do is perfectly attuned to the spirit of Nature. Making wines from proper organic grapes. Wines that are alive and touch the emotions. Wines that are profound, well-balanced and silky-smooth. A human and family adventure, an adventure built on deep-reaching roots, which highlights day after day the heritage of two fine terroirs.
