Château La Cabanne 2019

The typicity of a great red wine from Pomerol

The property

Located in the Pomerol appellation, the Château La Cabanne has belonged to the Jean-Pierre Estager family since 1952. This old property testifies to roots deeply anchored in viticulture since the vine has been cultivated there since the Gallo-Roman era. The name of the Château La Cabanne is associated with the time of the huts of the ancient Serfs and Colonists working in the vineyards at the time. Following a fire in 2010, the Château La Cabanne underwent a complete renovation. Since 2011, the property is equipped with a high-performance work tool that allows it to produce wines up to the standard of its great terroir.
