In a tranquil and picturesque valley between the renowned towns of Chinon and Saumur, and equidistant from Tours and Angers, lies this extraordinary Loire Valley wine estate. Set on a gentle south-facing slope and enclosed by handsome stone walls, the château and its surrounding grounds enjoy a privileged position in one of France’s most ancient, and fashionable wine regions. Dating back to the early Middle Ages and thoughtfully restored in the 19th and 20th centuries, the château offers approximately 1,500 sqm of living space arranged over three levels, around a central courtyard. The property is in excellent structural condition, with traditional slate roofs, tuffeau stone façades, and oak roof beams. One wing of the château has been renovated to high standards, while another section remains to be completed, creating an ideal opportunity for a buyer to imprint their own vision and style. The ground floor features a fully equipped kitchen, two dining rooms, a breakfast room, a music room, and two gracious salons. The first floor comprises four spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, while the top level offers a games room, a private office, an additional bedroom with en-suite, and a cinema room. Flanking the courtyard are several ancillary buildings, including two future apartments and two very large reception halls, served by a professional-grade kitchen. Until recently, these spaces hosted elegant weddings and private events, adding another dimension of business potiential to the property. A true highlight of the property is its spectacular wine cellar, beside the vineyard, purpose-built at great expense for high-end tastings and private events. This remarkable octagonal tasting room, adorned with hand-painted frescoes, and 75 hectolitre oak barrels, is connected via lift to an extensive network of underground cellars—undoubtedly among the largest and most impressive in the region. Inside, handsome oak barrels evoke centuries of winemaking tradition. The estate’s 14.8-hectare vineyard was planted in 1994, with its first harvest in 1997. Today, 30% of the vines are Chenin Blanc, classified under the prestigious *Saumur Blanc – AOC Puy Notre Dame*, while the remaining 70% are Cabernet Franc, under *Saumur Rouge – AOC Puy Notre Dame*. The vineyard is currently leased to a winemaker under a short-term agreement, which will conclude after the upcoming harvest. Grapes are currently vinified at the cooperative winery in Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg. No stock is included in the sale, but the infrastructure in place allows for an immediate continuation or reimagining of production. Adding further charm and heritage to the estate are several historic outbuildings: a 15th-century stone dovecote, an ornamental music pavilion, and the 17th-century Sainte-Marthe chapel—meticulously restored by a noted artist. Together, these elements contribute to the unique spirit of this property, where history, viticulture, and timeless elegance converge.
