A brief history

According to the legend, in 1810, the Duke of Chambord, who fell in love with the nature of this place, built his hunting estate here. Being a passionate fan of roosters' fighting, he gave it a name of Eperon (spur on the leg of a rooster, in French) - CHÂTEAU L'ÉPERON.

The image of the rooster, as the main symbol of France, is a symbol of the Château and you find it on each bottle of wine produced.

After visiting this winery, a group of close friends and family members from different part of the world decided to convert the Château in a dream of their lives. Since 2021, a new history of Château L'Éperon begins. It combines a unique place with a long history and international experience.
We would love to share with you "PASSION WHICH BROUGHT FRIENDS TOGETHER"
