Terroir
\nCh\u00e2teau Guillaume Blanc is situated just a few kilometres from Sainte Foy la Grande, on the outskirts of the Gironde, and dates back to the 16th century. The domaine owes its name to the former master of the household, Guillaume Blanc, elected as consulate to the renowned neighboring bastide of Sainte Foy La Grande, a key place for wine export to England.
\nCh\u00e2teau Guillaume Blanc is composed of a beautiful chartreuse house. The vineyards now cover 65 hectares of vines formed of a myriad of different parcels. The ch\u00e2teau benefits from a complex and unique terroir. The Cabernets are planted in the more gravelly areas whilst the Merlots are planted on the clay-limestone hillsides. The Malbec represents 5 hectares of vines,
\nideally planted on a clay and limestone terroir.
\nThe domain is High Environnemental Value certified and committed to using environmentally respectful practices. The combination of all of these factors results in well-balanced, rich and structured wines in a number of different cuv\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
