Two hundred years of history and know-how within the same family
This is what the Château de Brégançon, located on the seafront opposite the Îles d'Or and on a protected site, wants to share with you...
In addition to a commented tasting, you will be guided throughout your visit to discover the history of the Château and introduced to the work of the winegrower and the different cycles of the vine at the very heart of this exceptional estate in the Var.
Historical context
Acquired in 1816 by the SABRAN family, the Château de Brégançon was, before that, the fief of the Marquisat de Brégançon. As the Fort of Brégançon was a military base at the time, vegetables were grown at the Château de Brégançon to supply the Fort. The Château de Brégançon is now in its eighth generation of winemakers. These descendants have passed through the ages and have marked the history of the region by their investment in local life, notably Hermann SABRAN who founded the Renée SABRAN hospital in Giens. Georges TEZENAS participated in the creation of the Crus Classés de Provence.
Tour of the vineyards and the cellar
During this visit, we will take you to the "Jean-François" plot, as each plot of the Château is named after a member of the family. This plot overlooks the sea and in good weather it gives a breathtaking view of the Golden Islands. The different types of vine pruning will be explained to you as well as some of the production rules of the Côtes de Provence specifications.
The tour will continue in the cellar, where we will explain to you the path of the harvest, from the de-stemmer to the vinification vats to the bottling. We will also show you our barrel cellar and explain the secrets of maturing in oak barrels.
Tasting of our wines
At the end of this visit, we will let you taste our range of wines. This tasting will illustrate the explanations you have received on the grape varieties, the terroir and the different methods of vinification and maturation.
