Since 1791, the Chateau d’Espeyran offers wines that surprise even the most avid of wine experts. Classified in AOP Costières de Nîmes on an exceptional terroir, our wines offer a real typicity of Southern wines!
Made from vines grown in accordance with the High Environment Value (HVE) standard, our wines are also a delight for amateurs: red wines with deep, velvety colors and pronounced aromas, or our fresh and fruity rosés with a pale pink is the pinnacle of sophistication.
In 2017 we created a new range “L’envol” in red and rosé which is a summary of what we do best at Chateau d’Espeyran. It’s your turn to succumb to it!
In 2018 we launched our premium cuvée “Réserve des Illustres”: very confidential cuvée…
