Château Gombaude-Guillot has more than 160 years of history and battles.
A fight to defend the specificities of our wines against the demands of fashion. But also a fight for respect for our terroirs, when we were the first to take the step towards organic farming, then biodynamic agriculture.
Our parents started organic farming in the early 1990s, out of conviction, at a time when this concept was just taking off.
We also defended the specificities of the terroir when the fashion for wine standardization required us to produce powerful wines with wood aromas.
Coming to taste at the property is also an opportunity to establish special contact with the winemaker and the estate’s wines.
It is also an opportunity to discover the behind the scenes of the profession, the anecdotes, the hidden aspects and the sometimes unknown challenges of the activity.

Château Gombaude-Guillot, the very first Pomerol certified biodynamic, perfectly embodies the harmony between winemaking tradition and modern ecological practices.
The biodynamic management of the vine is first of all proximity to living things and careful observation of the terrain, which dictate dynamisation and impulse practices using natural preparations.
Pioneers such as Nicolas Joly popularized these methods in France in the 1980s. The observation is that they work, both on the revitalization of soils and on the nutritional quality of foods and of course on the intensity, precision and delicacy of flavors.
Château Gombaude-Guillot is committed to this path of proximity to living things which, beyond the non-use of chemical pesticides, respects biodiversity, sustainability and meets a requirement: producing ecological wines without harm.
Château Gombaude-Guillot spearheads viticulture that is more respectful of the planet, always serving an authentic and natural taste experience.

Unlike other regions of Bordeaux, Pomerol does not have an official classification system, allowing its winemakers to focus on the quality and individuality of the wines. The region’s terroir, characterized by surface gravel and deep clay soils, contributes to the depth and complexity of its wines.*
