 I t was in 1900 that Honorat Gabriel Fabre decided to found a family property on land in the Gard. Fifty years later, under the aegis of his son, René, they decided on another "first" when they decided to reverse the received policy of intensive farming by introducing organic production. Thus, since 1963, we have respected the wishes of the family elders: our production is entirely organic.
In May 2004, Ogier Caves des Papes bought 34% of the shares in the SCEA of the Domaine des Coccinelles (the ladybird).
