Shop Chateau Désclans

Château d’Esclans occupies a truly remarkable setting, nestled on elevated terrain near the Gorges de Pennafort, just twenty-five kilometers northwest of the historic Roman city of Fréjus along the captivating Mediterranean coastline. Its origins trace back to Gaulish times when its strategic position served as a watchful outpost, guarding the Gulf of Fréjus against potential maritime intruders. The foundation of the château's cellar, now revered as the oldest in the region, once sheltered an original structure bestowed by the Comte de Provence to Gérard De Villeneuve in 1201. The current château, evoking the elegance of Tuscan villa architecture, was meticulously crafted during the mid-19th century.
