About the estate:

The Dom. de Rombeau has been in the family since 1810. Pierre-Henri de La Fabrègue, a media-savvy winemaker, restaurateur, and hotelier, took over in 1993 and has brought great success to the estate. The estate's 90 hectares, including 27 hectares of organic land, produce Muscat de Rivesaltes, Rivesaltes and dry wines, both AOC and IGP. It is a large production, well known to readers of the Guide.
