The Château de Cabran estate
Château de Cabran, located in Puget-sur-Argens in the Var department, has been a family-run wine estate since 1820. It benefits from a unique volcanic soil originating from the Estérel massif, giving birth to fine, mineral AOP Côtes de Provence wines. The estate, which is HVE-certified and certified organic, produces award-winning rosés, reds and whites.
Between gourmet tours, yoga/pilates aperitifs in the heart of the vines and festive after-beach events, Château de Cabran invites you to enjoy a unique experience.
Located in the low foothills of the Estérel massif, just a stone’s throw from the Côte d’Azur, the Château de Cabran produces unique, high-quality wines.
The Esterel, a volcanic massif bathed by the sea breeze, gives rigor and finesse to the vine. The soil consists of volcanic rocks and lava, rhyolite and dolerite. The combined presence of these two volcanic elements is unique, providing the soil with rich minerals but low in organic elements; yields are therefore low but of high quality resulting in remarkable wines with organoleptic characteristics typical of this environment.
The Château de Cabran has held the Organic Agriculture label since 2024! This label, recognized both nationally and at European level, certifies that we do not use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It thus commits us to preserving the natural balance of the soils to offer you exceptional quality wines. We chose this label in order to ensure the protection of the environment but also to ensure the most authentic wines possible, reflecting the richness of our terroir
