In the heart of Sauternes, Château Guiraud stands tall with a spirit as bold as its history. Established in 1766 by the Guiraud family, Protestant merchants in a predominantly Catholic region, the estate carved its unique path from the outset. Its sprawling 128-hectare vineyard, nestled between gravel, sand, and clay soils, benefits from the nurturing microclimate of surrounding forests. This terroir, combined with an innovative approach, creates wines that are both refreshingly contemporary and deeply rooted in tradition.

Château Guiraud isn’t just a pioneer in the vineyard but also a leader in sustainability. In 2011, it became the first Premier Grand Cru Classé to receive organic certification, a testament to its dedication to biodiversity. Under the leadership of Sandrine Garbay, a visionary yet modest winemaker, Château Guiraud crafts wines that balance sweetness and freshness, turning Sauternes into a modern masterpiece of golden elegance.
