Producer Description
Fongaban was a polycultural farm estate created back in the 19th century. The Taïx family, who purchased the estate in 1940, have overseen its transformation into a purely viticultural operation. It is now run by the young, talented Pierre Taïx, who is revolutionising quality here. His 'signature' wine is the individual vineyard cuvée called Pierdon, vinified separately since 1998. He also makes 'La Mauriane' at his mother's estate, Chateau Rigaud. This wine is now attracting rave press reviews, notably from James Suckling of The Wine Spectator
