The story

The history of
Château Barbanau

Château Barbanau, an estate steeped in Provencal legends and Roman heritage, was restored by Lucien Cerciello and his wife in 1989. In 2022, Romain and Barbara Tchénio fell in love with the estate and restored it to its former glory by revitalizing the vineyard, preserving its winegrowing past and historic charm.

Our latest creation: Les Deux Mondes
Barbanau's Les Deux Mondes cuvée is a unique creation, born at the crossroads of terroirs and ideas. It subtly expresses the union between the solar roundness of Rolle and the saline freshness of Clairette. A true sensory and creative exploration, it reflects the harmony between innovation and respect for the living. It fully embodies Barbanau's philosophy: to celebrate the diversity of its terroir without ever betraying its authenticity.
Kalahari
A prestige cuvee from Château Barbanau in the Cassis AOC, Kalahari is aged for 12 months in Burgundy barrels. Clairette, marsanne, sauvignon and ugni blanc combine to create a wine with power, richness and substance.
