It is ideally located in Gornac, along one of the oldest routes of the Entre-Deux-Mers region, just a few kilometers east of Sauveterre de Guyenne.

ORIGIN Red Wine Bordeaux Supérieur Château Guillaume Blanc, located a few kilometers from Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, at the edge of Gironde, has been established since the 16th century.

Château Guillaume Blanc features a charming chartreuse-style building. Its vineyard now spans 65 hectares, fragmented into a myriad of plots. The estate benefits from a complex and unique terroir, where the gravelly sections are planted with Cabernet varieties, and the clay-limestone slopes are planted with Merlot.
