Château Guiraud, or the taste for emancipation.

A STORY

In a few words

In 1766, the Guiraud family purchased the vineyard from the noble House of Bayle and gave it their name. Through their staunch cultural and political convictions, the Guirauds would shape the destiny of this magnificent 128-hectare estate. Over the generations and vintages, Château Guiraud has cultivated its unique identity: its historic black and gold label, its pioneering commitment to organic farming practices that promote biodiversity, and its preference for Sauvignon Blanc…

 

In 2021, Matthieu Gufflet, a Bordeaux entrepreneur and founder of the Terres de Natures label, became the majority shareholder of Château Guiraud. Bringing together a constellation of wine estates and hospitality venues united by a shared conviction – to put nature back at the centre – he is steering the estate towards a contemporary and vibrant vision of Sauternes, characterised by the great freshness of a controlled sweetness and enhanced by two gourmet restaurants, La Chapelle de Guiraud (Bib Gourmand) and Le Cercle Guiraud (1 Michelin star). Undoubtedly a land of white wines, gold and fine dining.
