Château de Cranne

Château de Cranne: An Organic Wine Estate in the Heart of Bordeaux

Since 1856, Château de Cranne has embodied the story of a family passionate about vines and wine. Located in Donzac, just 40 minutes from Bordeaux, this family-owned estate now spans 42 hectares, including 33 hectares of vineyards cultivated organically since 2009. Under the guidance of Vincent Lacoste, the sixth generation of winemakers, the estate produces unique cuvées born from diverse terroirs and a deep artistic sensibility.

Organic Wines Filled with Emotion and Creativity

Curious and open to the world, Vincent approaches each wine as a personal experience. Every cuvée reflects an inspiration or emotion, often captured on a label designed by an artist or a close friend. Respect for living things, healthy soils, and the absence of pesticide residues make Château de Cranne’s wines authentic, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.

Wine Tourism Experiences and Tailor-Made Events

Château de Cranne welcomes you in a warm, authentic setting for unforgettable moments—whether with family, friends, or in a professional context. Vineyard walks, behind-the-scenes insights into the wine profession, guided tastings of their cuvées... here, hospitality is personalized, and every visit becomes a meaningful encounter.

Team-Building and Green Corporate Retreats

For professionals, the estate offers original activities such as treasure hunts through the organic vines, wine discovery workshops, or lunch options with food and wine pairings. It’s the perfect setting to strengthen team spirit in a place rich in history and know-how.

Fun and Educational Activities for All Ages

Children and families are also well catered to with creative on-site activities. The estate hosts vineyard escape games and educational workshops focused on bees and biodiversity.

These options are ideal for a night out with friends, a private event, or a company evening in a warm and welcoming setting.

A Family Tradition Driven by Innovation

Since Vincent took over in 2005, the estate has undergone a profound transformation. Every decision is guided by observation, respect for the land, and a constant drive for innovation. For example, their handcrafted wax-sealing method for bottles reflects this pursuit of uniqueness and quality, while encouraging the sharing of experience among professionals.
