“It was a project of family and friends, from different backgrounds and countries, that brought us together to make our dream a reality.”
From hunting lodge to winery
The story goes that the Duke of Chambord set up his hunting lodge at Château l’Eperon, and with his passion for cockfighting, he named it l’Eperon to allude to the protruding dewclaw that roosters possess.
Château l’Eperon has become a family estate, committed to authenticity through its membership of the Vignerons Indépendants. The domaine is recommended by the famous wine critics James Suckling and Yves Beck, and is committed to sustainable practices thanks to HVE3 certification. It also seeks the quintessence of each vintage with the help of Hubert de Boüard’s OENO-LAB.
You can also discover the estate by staying at the gîte “La Maison L’Eperon”, which boasts a swimming pool and 5-star comfort. Ideal for tastings, private dinners and workshops!
