Château d'Epiré

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château d'Épiré, located at the lieu-dit of Épiré in the commune of Savennières (Maine-et-Loire), is a 19th-century residence built of tuffeau, brick and schist, rising two square storeys beneath an attic. Its symmetrical garden façade adopts a style inspired by the 17th century, and the orangery of 1853, opened by five large arches of tuffeau and brick decorated with medallions, recalls the Grand Trianon. The estate includes a 4-hectare park with orchards, a kitchen garden and two circular basins, as well as a neo-Gothic chapel built around 1873. The former parish church of Épiré was incorporated into the estate and converted into a cellar (chais) in 1905. A private property, the château is today the seat of a wine estate in the Savennières appellation, run by the Bizard family since 1882.
