La Fagotière is based to the north of the town of Châteauneuf, neighbouring the famous vineyards of Château de Beaucastel.  It is a 30-hectare family-run domaine that is now under the skilful guidance of 5th-generation winemakers, brother and sister Pascal Chastan and Valérie Leoty.

The terroir comprises clay over limestone and, in many parts, the galets pebbles and boulders are very much in evidence.  Grenache is the most-planted variety, with Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault also planted for the red wines. For their rather rare white wines, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Picpoul are the main varieties.

The low-yielding vines are between 45 and 60 years old and are hand harvested. The family is committed to organic viticulture, with thriving insect life, healthy soils and hence healthy vines being the key objective.
