Château des Cabans

Château de Cabans has been a family-owned estate since 1840 and was listed in the 7th edition of the Féret guide in 1898. Château de Cabans nearly disappeared after World War I, as its male heirs had fallen on the battlefield. Now owned by Mr. Jean-Marie Aberne and operated by SCA Philippe Bérard since March 2003, this estate expresses the essence of every Médoc vintage with great finesse.

Still considered one of the most reliable choices among Médoc wines produced under the Crus Bourgeois designation, Château de Cabans successfully made the cut in the new 2003 classification—even though more than half of the former Crus Bourgeois were dropped due to a lack of reputation or consistent quality. Château de Cabans’ continued presence in this classification is , in itself, proof of its quality, as it stood out in a vertical tasting of five vintages. Proof of this is its first official tasting in Le Point magazine, which ranked it as a top-tier Bordeaux offering excellent value for money.
