Marketing is highly developed, with wine ranges designed to appeal to as many people as possible, which may be perceived as a lack of authenticity.

Since 1878, Ch\u00e2teau de Luc has been owned by the Fabre family, winegrowers in the region since 1605. Irma and Auguste were not content to simply preserve the heritage. They transformed it.

Ch\u00e2teau de Pennautier is the birthplace of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aop-cabardes.fr\/\">PDO Cabard\u00e8s<\/a>, a unique Languedoc appellation which requires the blending of Atlantic grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet) and Mediterranean grape varieties (Syrah, Grenache).
