Château Saint Ahon

Best Of Wine Tourism, Bienvenue à la Ferme, Vignobles et découvertes

Built in the 14th century and owned by Charles de Montesquieu in the 18th, this Cru Bourgeois was acquired in 1985 by the Count and Countess Bernard de Colbert. Their daughter and son-in-law Françoise and Nicolas Chodron de Courcel settled there in 2003, and the third generation arrived with their daughter Alice in 2017.

Our desire to guarantee the sustainability of our vineyard leads us to a strong commitment: to give new life to a soil that, natural and balanced, allows us to organize the preservation of our territory and our resources, with respect for nature, the operateur, the plant and the fruit, our neighbors, our wines and our customers."

Our aim is to continue our award-winning wine tourism development. We can welcome you for your private or professional events in our intimate reception room with exposed beams and stone walls, overlooking the barrel cellar. In our delicatessen, you'll find not only our wines, but also gourmet products and discoveries “Made In France”.

The property also offers three lodges for 6 to 8 people, which you can discover at the end of this page.
