Château Guiraud, Wine estate in Sauternes, France.

Château Guiraud is a wine estate in Sauternes whose 128 hectares include vines averaging 35 to 40 years old, planted with 65% Sémillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc. The soils are 80% sandy gravels and 20% clayey gravels. The buildings shown are a long tan stone range with a terracotta-tiled roof and round tower, and a three-storey yellow house with a slate roof, dormers and white shutters.

The estate, first known as Château du Bayle, belonged to the Mons de Saint-Poly family before Bordeaux wine merchant Pierre Guiraud bought it in 1766. It stayed with the Guiraud family until 1837 and was ranked Premier Grand Cru in the imperial classification of 1855. Since 20 July 2006 it has been jointly owned by FFP, Olivier Bernard, Stephan von Neipperg and Xavier Planty.

The estate is known among wine lovers for producing sweet wines that are valued around the world. It has built a reputation through Sauternes production, a wine style with deep roots in this region.

The estate lies on the Route des vins de Bordeaux, 45 km south of Bordeaux on the left bank of the Garonne. Since 2015 visitors can walk a 1,800 m² biodiversity garden among the vines, with over 200 fruit and vegetable varieties and around a hundred flowers and plants. The restaurant La Chapelle opened in partnership with Nicolas Lascombes.

The estate achieved organic certification in 2011, becoming the first of its ranking in the Bordeaux region to do so. This shift reflects a commitment to growing grapes and making wine using environmentally thoughtful methods.
