Beyond their love and respect for the produce of the land, the Abécassis family is above all a family of explorers and taste enthusiasts. The search for aromatic qualities led Francis and his daughters to Charente at the end of the 20th century, where they gradually built up a collection of exceptional vineyards.
Guided by his strength of conviction, his demand for quality and his passion of French terroir, Francis Abécassis founded Domaines Francis Abécassis around a rare philosophy: Single Estate Cognac. Building on his success in the world of spirits, notably under the ABK6, Réviseur and Leyrat brands, in 2024 he decided to return to his first love: wine.
Francis Abécassis signed a new chapter, combining a passion for wine, respect for terroir and contemporary audacity, with a clear objective: the creation of a strong brand: ABK6
The family estate extends over two emblematic regions :
Cognac and Bordeaux.
BORDEAUX
320 hectares of vineyards in the Bordeaux appellation, where each plot of our exceptional terroirs is cultivated with precision and care by our team, producing a range of highly acclaimed Bordeaux White, Bordeaux Red, Blanc de Noirs, Sparkling Wines and more.
COGNAC
In the heart of the Cognac region, our four historic vineyards span 460 hectares and embody a unique know-how. Every step of production is carried out on site, giving birth to four Cognac brands recognized worldwide for their excellence.
Independent and Family-run House in the Côte des Bar, Champagne.
Since 1808, the estate has remained in the hands of our family. Today, Michel Drappier, together with the 8th generation — Charline, Hugo (the winemaker) and Antoine — oversees the vineyard, the 12th-century cellar, and the entire house.
Cultivating all 8 grape varieties authorized by the appellation, our family produces an authentic Champagne that is vinous, with little or no dosage.
Our philosophy: to craft the kind of wine we love — one that showcases the singular character of the Côte des Bar grapes and its unique Jurassic Kimmeridgian limestone soils.
Au XVème siècle, Adhémar de Massaut construisit un château à partir des ruines d’une ancienne forteresse. Situé sur la petite Grèze qui surplombe le Lot, le château est baptisé Château Lagrezette. Les premières vendanges du Château furent célébrées en 1503. C’est en 1980 qu’ALAIN DOMINIQUE PERRIN, figure emblématique du monde du luxe et de l’art, fait la découverte du Château, l’achète, le restaure et décide de lui rendre sa vocation première : la vigne en attachant un soin particulier à son cépage : le Malbec. Ainsi, le Château Lagrézette reprend vie devenant une histoire de famille et de passions. Alain Dominique Perrin met en oeuvre un programme de replantation du Malbec extrêmement ambitieux. En 1992, après une rencontre décisive avec MICHEL ROLLAND, oenologue mondialement connu, il se dote d’un CHAI gravitaire (rénové en 2011) révolutionnaire divisé en trois niveaux afin de préserver l’intégralité des précieux raisins. Depuis 40 ans, Alain Dominique Perrin n’a qu’un objectif : compter parmi les meilleurs nectars du monde. Aujourd’hui, Château Lagrézette regroupe trois domaines : > CAILLAC, notre vignoble le plus ancien du domaine. Il s’étend sur 60 hectares. C’est sur ce terroir que sont produits nos malbec rouges et nos rosés. > A 260 mètres d’altitude, notre vignoble de ROCAMADOUR comporte 10 hectares de vignes. Nos vins de ce terroir, dignes des Grands vins blancs de Bourgogne, sont d’une grande finesse grâce au travail méticuleux du sol et aux plantations limitées. C’est en 2001 qu’Alain Dominique Perrin a découvert ce terroir unique pour les vins blancs. > LANDIECH est notre terroir 100% Malbec (20 ha) dont les premières cuvées datent de 2011. On dénombre dans ce vignoble 12 parcelles et 5 sols différents qui s’appuient sur un socle de calcaire Kimméridgien.
In the 15th century, Adhémar de Massaut built a castle from the ruins of an ancient fortress. Located on the small Grèze overlooking the Lot, the castle is called Château Lagrezette. The first harvest of the Château was celebrated in 1503. Alain Dominique Perrin bought the castle in 1980. He is an emblematic figure of the world of luxury and art. He discovered the Château, bought it, restoredit and decided to give it back its primary vocation: the vine and particulary the Malbec. Thus, Château Lagrézette comes back to life becoming a story of family and passions. Alain Dominique Perrin is implementing an extremely ambitious replanting program for Malbec. In 1992, after a decisive meeting with Michel ROLLAND, the world famous oenologist, he equips himself with a revolutionary gravity CHAI (renovated in 2011) divided into three levels in order to preserve all the precious grapes. For 40 years, Alain Dominique Perrin has had only one objective: to be among the best nectars in the world. Today, Château Lagrézette brings together three areas : > CAILLAC, our oldest vineyard in the area. It covers 60 hectares. Here are produced our red Malbec (Chateau Lagrézette, Dame Honneur) and our rosés. > ROCAMADOUR (10 ha) vineyard can be compared with the lands of Burgundy. Alain Dominique Perrin discovered his unique terroir for white wines in 2001. > LANDIECH is our 100% Malbec terroir (20 ha) whose first vintages dates from 2011. There are 12 plots and 5 soils in this vineyard which are supported on a base of Kimmeridgian limestone.
Château de Tracy is one of the oldest winery in Pouilly-Fumé. Our family produces wine since the 15th century in our vineyard cultivated since 1396. Located in one of the most continental side of Center Loire, our vineyard offers incredible conditions (cool climate) and fascinating terroirs (flint, Kimmeridgian marls, clays) that are ideal for revealing a maximum of purity in our wines. The vines are grown as naturally as possible. Our approach strictly follows organic and biodynamic process, in order to search the most faithful expression of our different plots and associated micro-terroirs. Our production is limited, highly selected and mainly focused on handcrafted approach : picking by hand, grain sorting on table, vinification managed with a minimum of intervention, long ageing before bottling and very limited use of wood. Our wines are rather oriented toward gastronomy, appreciated for their accurate and delicate textures and a great purity.
Le vignoble
Le domaine s’étend aujourd’hui sur plus de 43 hectares plantés sur l'arc oriental du Muscadet.
Le vignoble est intégralement planté en melon de Bourgogne et bénéficie d'une diversité de sols très importante avec des sols d'argiles sablonneuses, schistes bleus et bruns, gabros, quartz et granit. Chaque cuvée est donc le reflet d'un de nos terroirs et de nos parcelles.
Dès la reprise du domaine, le respect des sols, de la vigne et plus généralement du vivant nous est apparu comme une évidence. Une partie du domaine est déjà en biodynamie et le reste sera certifié bio en 2026.
Les appellations
Le domaine est situé dans le Muscadet, et plus précisément sur les terroirs communaux de Vallet, Mouzillon, Gorge et Clisson. L’ambition est de valoriser la spécificité de chaque parcelle selon le modèle parcellaires.
Dès la création du domaine, nous avons eu pour ambition de faire de grands vins façonnés par des terroirs d'une diversité rare et encore trop méconnue.
Les vins
Les vins du domaine se distinguent par leur grande finesse et leur diversité. Les vins sont élevés dans différents contenants, cuve enterrée et verrée, foudres, demi muid, oeuf béton, cuve inox afin de révéler toute la complexité du Melon de Bourgogne.
Les premières cuvées sont issues de parcelles rigoureusement sélectionnées, élevées avec soin pendant 2 ans. Après un tel élevage, les vins peuvent être dégustés immédiatement et sur au moins 15 ans.
Domaine Cauhapé was created by Henri Ramonteu, an independent winegrower since 1980. Today considered to be a key reference in the Jurançon appellation. Located in the town of Monein near Pau, the estate produces great dry and sweet wines from rare grape varieties from the South-West. Refinement and aromatic expression are the two pillars that define Cauhapé wines. The vines are planted on clay-siliceous hillsides facing the Pyrenees and managed according to the principles of sustainable agriculture.
