Château d'Esclans
Château D'Esclans is located in the heart of the Var, where most of the AOC Rosés de Provence are produced. The lands were occupied 2,500 years ago and constituted a point of surveillance for possible intruders who could disembark in the Gulf of Fréjus. The original castle - of which only the cellars remain today - was built before the 12th century. In 1201, Gérard de Villeneuve, heir to a wealthy Marseille family, became the owner of the castle and most of the land in the Valley of Esclans; these were then sold in plots. Two brothers, Sauveur Louis Ranque and François Alexandre Ranque, then became owners of the castle, then known as Terre d´Esclans.
