i. Biography
Fabien Leperchois works wine as a matter of field and cellar, with the kind of discipline that comes from reading both the vine and the wine without separating the two. At Domaine des Carabiniers in Roquemaure, France, he holds the line between ripening fruit and the decisions that follow beneath roof and beam. As Vineyard Manager and cellar master, Fabien Leperchois is responsible for the estate’s full arc, from the rows in the vineyard to the work that shapes the wine after harvest. He is also manager of BIODYNAMIC WINE in Roquemaure, France (2017), and manager of GFA DOMAINE DES CARABINIERS in Tavel, France (2020), extending that same oversight across more than one site.
The Path
Since 2017, Fabien Leperchois has been gérant and Vineyard Manager & Maître de Chai of BIODYNAMIC WINE. The title covers administration, but the work is more immediate: seasonal labor in the vineyard, technical attention in the cellar, and constant adjustment between the two. Since 2020, he has also served as gérant of GFA DOMAINE DES CARABINIERS, adding another layer of responsibility within the same landscape. In that structure, management means keeping the vineyard, the fermenting must, and the estate’s character in practical alignment.
The Work Today
At Domaine des Carabiniers in Roquemaure, France, he serves as Vineyard Manager and cellar master. The role asks for two kinds of reading at once: the condition of the vineyard and the condition of the wine as it develops. It is work built on patience, precision, and attention to what the estate already gives.
In Their Words “For me, Tavel is not a rosé, it is Tavel.” The line is direct about category and identity. It treats Tavel as a wine that stands on its own terms, not as a general style that can be flattened into shorthand. For Fabien Leperchois, the point is difference: a name, a place, and a classification that should not be diluted.
Acclaim
"For me, Tavel is not a rosé, it is Tavel." The line returns here as the clearest public statement of his position. It marks Fabien Leperchois as someone who draws firm lines around place and style, and who resists reducing a wine to a broader category when its identity is specific.
