Located in Saint-Cibard, within the Francs-Côtes-de-Bordeaux appellation, Château Puygueraud is one of the flagship estates of Bordeaux’s right bank. Owned by the Thienpont family since 1946, it benefits from the same expertise behind prestigious names such as Vieux Château Certan and Le Pin, making it a key reference for the appellation.
The vineyard spans about 42 hectares, planted on clay-limestone and clay-siliceous soils that provide depth and intensity. Plantings are dominated by Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Malbec, which bring structure, freshness and aromatic complexity.
Viticulture is carried out with rigorous attention, focusing on yield control and natural balance. Vinification is precise and parcel-specific, followed by oak ageing carefully judged to highlight elegance and fruit purity.
Château Puygueraud wines are admired for their intense bouquet of dark fruits, violet and spice, their generous and structured palate, and their long, refined finish. Their style combines richness, elegance and freshness, with excellent ageing potential.
As a true ambassador of its appellation, Château Puygueraud perfectly illustrates the harmony of family tradition and modern expertise, standing as a trusted choice for lovers of fine Bordeaux at accessible prices.
