Château Guiraud, Wine estate in Sauternes, France.
The 128-hectare property contains 54 hectares of vineyards planted with Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes on sandy gravel and clay soils.
Pierre Guiraud, a Bordeaux wine merchant, purchased the estate in 1766 when it was known as La Maison Noble du Bayle.
The estate earned recognition as a Premier Grand Cru Classé in the 1855 classification of Sauternes wines, marking its excellence in sweet wine production.
The estate welcomes visitors seven days a week from 10:00 to 18:00 for vineyard tours, wine tastings, and dining at Le Cercle Guiraud restaurant.
In 2011, Château Guiraud became the first Premier Grand Cru Classé estate in Bordeaux to receive organic certification for its cultivation methods.

The wine estates of Bordeaux spread across the Gironde department and produce wines under more than 60 appellations. The châteaux combine winemaking traditions with modern cellar techniques. Many properties open their doors to visitors, offering tours of vineyards, fermentation rooms, and barrel cellars. The grand estates of the Médoc, such as Château Margaux, Château Latour, or Château Mouton Rothschild, rank among the most recognized addresses in the region. In Saint-Émilion, châteaux cluster around the medieval village. The Entre-deux-Mers area features numerous smaller family operations. Wine routes traverse landscapes of vine rows and historic buildings. The architecture of the châteaux ranges from medieval fortresses to 18th and 19th-century residences. Some estates have commissioned contemporary cellars from architects like Norman Foster or Jean Nouvel. Tasting rooms allow visitors to sample different vintages and blends. Many domains also organize oenology workshops and receptions in their vineyards.
