Le Château
First small craftsmen coopers, the family settled in Crabitan on the heights of Sainte-Croix-du-Mont in 1870. The current tasting room is testimony to the old cuisine of the ancestors of the family. The vineyard has developed gradually over the generations through the purchase, rental and planting of vineyard plots.
In 1975, the wines of Clos de Crabitan renamed themselves Château Crabitan Bellevue and were made get to know Bernard and Eliane at trade fairs and exhibitions by highlighting their voucher quality / price ratio.
In the meantime the tractor had replaced the oxen and the horse for the work of the vineyard, which in these difficult clay hills made daily tasks less arduous. Nicolas, current manager of the estate, joined his parents in 1994 with the creation of GFA Bernard Solane and Son.
He strives every day, with the help of Corinne in administration and their team in the cellar and in the vineyard to bring the grapes to the best maturity in order to make Crabitan wines Bellevue always pleasant to taste for visitors coming to the domain or those who discover them in more distant regions.
