The Winery’s Castle of Dreams

At the heart of Chateau Piegue lies the historic Piegue Castle, built in 1840 by Colonel Moron, a Florentine and confidant of Napoleon I. After retiring, Colonel Moron enhanced the castle with a stunning east wing, complete with a tower, terraces, and beautiful gardens. In 1920, the Van Der Hecht family acquired the castle, which had just 7 hectares of unproductive vines. With dedication and care, they rejuvenated the vineyard, achieving their first successful harvest in September 1921, producing esteemed Loire wines. Over the years, they expanded the vineyard, and today, Chateau Piegue boasts 35 hectares of flourishing vines.

Good welcome, the rooms are very pleasant, the breakfast is very satisfactory because it is varied. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you, away from noise and close to nature. We are happy that the owners preserve this heritage and wish them good luck.

On the heights of Rochefort-sur-Loire, a lovely estate and vineyard, where the history and tasting of various locally produced wines delighted us and our most cheerful and pleasant guide! A very nice room with a magnificent view. We were lucky enough to be alone, which was a plus. A very generous breakfast! Satisfied ++

Very nice break in the middle of the vineyards in this very well-kept little castle! The atmosphere is a mix of modern and authentic. Absolute peace reigns there. The breakfast is plentiful. And as a little extra: the possibility to walk through the estate surrounded by vines and finally to buy (and taste) the very good wines of the estate in the shop! I recommend

Our evening at Château de Piéguë went very well. We took advantage of the morning to walk around the castle, chat with Laëtitia about the estate and how it works, and buy some bottles. Thank you to her for her kindness and availability.
