About the domain :

Dom. de Rombeau has been in the family since 1810. A media-savvy winemaker, restaurateur and hotelier, Pierre-Henri de La Fabrègue, who took over the reins in 1993, has given the estate a new lease of life. The 90-hectare estate, 27 hectares of which are organic, produces muscat-de-rivesaltes, rivesaltes and dry wines, both AOC and IGP. A wide-ranging production well known to Guide readers.
