Presentation
The name Château Cabanieu has its roots in the rural history of the Médoc. Cabanieu means "hut" in Occitan, a term that evokes these small stone or wooden constructions once scattered in the heart of the vineyards. They served as a refuge for shepherds practicing pastoralism - an ancestral tradition in the region - or for winemakers who stored their tools there and found shelter during vineyard work. True to this heritage and a respectful approach to its environment, the first certified organic vintage was born in 2021. A step that is part of the desire to preserve and enhance the authentic expression of its terroir.
