The Story

Chateau Blaignan is one of the oldest winemaking estates in the Medoc region of Bordeaux. Documents dating back to the 15th century reveal that vineyards were planted in the hamlet of Blaignan for nearly 600 years. In this beautiful estate of 100 hectares located in the north of the Médoc, the presence of the vine is attested since the 14th century. A fief of the Lords of Blaignan in the Middle Ages, this estate gave its name to the land and to the family. The owners of Chateau Blaignan, Jean Merlaut (who also owns Château Gruaud Larose, in the Saint Julien appellation) and Régis Porfilet, are deeply committed to the renaissance of the estate and have invested in the vineyards and brand new 100% temperature controlled cellars with small stainless steel vats for vinification by parcels. The vineyards are under the direction of Regis Porfilet, former viticulturist of Château Lafite Rothschild. He is making an outstanding wine that over delivers in quality, while remaining affordable.
