Domaine La Cavale: an organic wine estate at the heart of the Luberon
Domaine La Cavale
A Vignobles Paul Dubrule estate at the heart of the Luberon Regional Nature Park, between Lourmarin, Cucuron, Vaugines and Cadenet. 36 hectares of hillside vines, 8 grape varieties, certified organic. High-altitude whites, rosés and reds, taut, fresh and elegant.
The Domaine de La Cavale extends over 36 hectares of vines, planted exclusively on hillsides, at the heart of the Luberon Regional Nature Park, between Lourmarin, Cucuron, Vaugines and Cadenet. Here, the vine breathes, rises up and draws its energy from living soils, swept by the winds and bathed in light.
A high-altitude terroir, a signature of freshness and elegance
The La Cavale vines, cultivated with rigour, are planted on hillsides that naturally offer slow, balanced ripening, a preserved natural freshness and a precise aromatic expression, without heaviness. The estate's eight grape varieties give rise to white, rosé and red wines marked by tension and fruit for the whites and rosés, and by structure, depth and cellaring potential for the reds. Each wine tells of the relief of the Luberon, its minerality and its energy.

Three ranges, three readings of the estate

Petite Cavale

La Cavale
Red, rosé & white - AOC Luberon
The estate's core cuvee: pleasure wines, more structured and more complex, faithfully conveying the identity of the Luberon terroirs, in all three colours.
BLANC
Confidential micro-cuvee - Vermentino, Cadenet plot
A micro-cuvee from a single plot in Cadenet: Vermentino reveals all its nobility here, a pure, contemporary, taut and elegant white, almost mineral, with real cellaring potential.
Organic AOC Luberon, whites, rosés and reds, direct from the estate
A sustainable vision, turned towards the future
The transformation of the estate drew on top-level expertise: Alain Graillot for the vineyard restructuring, Lydia and Claude Bourguignon for the in-depth study of the soils and their biological life. This approach led to organic farming certification, with a clear ambition: to preserve the land, pass on a living vineyard and produce sincere wines, true to their origin. Since 2018, Thierry Mueth, son-in-law of Paul Dubrule, has continued this family vision with rigour and modernity.
A wine, a place, an experience
The estate is home to an exceptional wine-tourism centre designed by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, perfectly integrated into the Luberon landscape: cellars, a 500 m² shop, educational workshops, immersive visits and open-air concerts in summer. At La Cavale, nothing is decorative: everything is coherent, the wine, the architecture, the welcome and the landscape.
