The Terre Fauve brand Whether it’s the Château’s wines or its beauty products, they all bear the same name: Terre Fauve.
“Terre” is a reference to the wine-growing terroir, to agriculture, and more generally to a return to origins.
“Fauve” evokes the ochre and orange colors of Fronton soils and Toulouse walls, rich in iron oxides. The adjective also refers to the ancient origins of the vineyard, planted by the Romans.
Buoyed by this spirited name, the young brand now dresses each of its vintages and cosmetics in fawn, reflecting three influences: French, African and Asian. The lion becomes the brand’s official emblem as an ancient symbol, in reference to the Roman history of the area, and also evokes the ardor of youth.
Château Terre Fauve, the common thread
Once planted by the Romans, the Fronton vineyard is one of France’s oldest wine-growing terroirs. Its main grape variety is Négrette, also known as Pinot Saint Georges. Having fallen into neglect for several years, but once renowned for the quality of its wines (which would “hermitage” the wines of Bordeaux), the château is being taken over in 2019 by Morgane Jouan and Nicolas Baudet, young oenologists trained in the grand crus of Bordeaux. Starting in 2020, they will embark on a process of upgrading the estate: transition to organic farming, restoration of buildings, environmental measures to promote biodiversity, creation of new, original and atypical cuvées, as well as ageing wines, based on the valorization of old vines and terroirs. As soon as they took over the estate, it also became a place of artistic commitment: participation of artists in the designs of the cuvées, art exhibitions to come, a place of exchange and encounters…
