Five Centuries, Four Families: The Story of Estoublon

Five Centuries, Four Families: The Story of Estoublon

The estate, originally known as Le Grand Mas, dates back to the Middle Ages under the Baux-de-Provence nobility. In 1489, the de Grille family, a prominent Arles noble lineage, acquired the property, beginning more than four centuries of family stewardship. The château was destroyed during the 1561 capture of Les Baux and rebuilt from 1641; in 1674 the de Grille family was granted the hereditary title of Marquis d’Estoublon, giving the estate its current name. In 1731, the first olive oil mill was built on the property, formally beginning Estoublon’s olive oil tradition.

Ownership passed through several families across the 20th century, sold in 1922, then to the Lombrage family in 1932. After a devastating frost destroyed the olive groves in 1956, the family made the decision to replant by individual variety rather than mixed planting, which is what gave rise to Estoublon’s tradition of single-varietal olive oils. The Schneider family bought the château in 1998 and began the estate’s organic viticulture and olive-growing program.

A New Chapter for a Historic Estate

In 2019/2020, the estate entered its current chapter when French entrepreneur Stéphane Courbit, together with the Prats family, including Jean-Guillaume Prats, former CEO of Cos d’Estournel and now CEO of Château Lafite Rothschild, acquired Château d’Estoublon from the Reboul-Schneider family. The new ownership launched a flagship rosé, Roseblood d’Estoublon, and has continued investing in the estate’s organic wine and olive oil program. In 2021, Estoublon’s expertise was formally recognized by the Comité Colbert, the association representing France’s most prestigious luxury heritage houses.

It’s a genuinely rare lineage: one noble family for over four centuries, followed by a succession of owners who each shaped a specific part of what the estate produces today, including the very reason its olive oils are single-varietal rather than blended.

Sustainable Agriculture and Respect for the Land

Château d’Estoublon places sustainability at the heart of every decision, a practice formalized under the Schneider family’s ownership from 1998 and continued by the estate’s current owners. The estate favors natural crop treatment, avoids insecticides, nourishes the land with organic fertilizers, and combines natural grassing with eco-grazing to preserve soil health and promote environmental balance.

Its commitment also extends to biodiversity and conservation. Through its Olive Conservatory, the estate preserves more than 40 olive tree varieties from across the Mediterranean basin, combining heritage preservation with ongoing respect for nature and terroir — a living record of the same 1956 decision to replant by variety rather than mix.
