List of products by brand CHATEAU GUILLOTIN

Château Guillotin is rooted in the long viticultural history of Puisseguin, a commune in the Gironde whose clay-limestone hillsides allow Merlot and the Cabernets to express the character of right-bank Bordeaux with admirable clarity.

A château with nearly three centuries of Bordeaux history

Founded in 1730 by the Chevalier and Daviaud families, Château Guillotin stands among the oldest viticultural properties in the commune of Puisseguin, in the Gironde. For close to three hundred years, the estate has passed from one generation to the next, preserving a continuity of purpose that is increasingly rare in the modern wine world. This is not a château that has been reinvented or rebranded; it is one that has simply continued, season after season, to tend its vines and produce wines that reflect their place honestly. That kind of longevity speaks for itself.

Terroir: clay-limestone slopes facing south and south-east

The vineyards of Château Guillotin sit on the hillsides of Puisseguin, where the soils are predominantly argilo-calcaire — clay-limestone — a combination well suited to the principal grape varieties of the right bank. The south and south-east exposures ensure good ripening across the growing season, even in less generous vintages. The encépagement is classic Bordeaux: Merlot provides the structural backbone and fruit, while Cabernet Franc contributes aromatic lift and freshness, and Cabernet Sauvignon adds depth and ageing potential. Together, the three varieties complement one another in a blend that has been refined over generations. The Bordeaux appellation covers the château's full range, and the wines carry the character of the wine region in a style that is approachable without being simple.

Winemaking: tradition and precision in the Gironde

The approach at Château Guillotin reflects the values of a family property that has never needed to chase trends. Vinification follows the rhythms of the terroir, with careful attention to the balance between structure and drinkability. The reds are built to age, but are not austere in youth; the rosés are produced with the same rigour as the reds, offering a genuine expression of the Bordeaux style rather than a secondary consideration. The château's position in Puisseguin — a commune that neighbours Saint-Émilion — lends the wines a certain gravitas that distinguishes them from generic appellation Bordeaux.

The wine range at Château Guillotin

The château produces wines in two colours under the Bordeaux appellation:

• Bordeaux Rouge — a structured, Merlot-led red with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, suited to the cellar as well as the table.
• Bordeaux Rosé — a considered, dry rosé reflecting the clay-limestone terroir of Puisseguin, with the freshness and balance characteristic of the appellation.

Why we have selected Château Guillotin

At Halles Quercamps, we look for producers whose wines reflect their origins without artifice. Château Guillotin fits that description precisely. Three reasons guided our selection: first, the remarkable continuity of the estate since 1730, which speaks to a depth of knowledge of this particular terroir in Puisseguin; second, the consistent quality of the reds — structured, honest, and genuinely representative of right-bank Bordeaux; and third, the value offered by an appellation Bordeaux from a property of this standing and age. We recommend these wines to enthusiasts who appreciate a classic claret style with real provenance, and to those building a cellar that goes beyond the obvious classified growths. At table, the rouge pairs naturally with roast lamb, duck confit, or a well-aged hard cheese; the rosé is well suited to summer terrines and charcuterie.
