Description
Château Guiteronde du Hayot is one of the oldest vineyards of the Sauternes-Barsac region. We know that back in 1800 it was owned by M. Journu, the president of the Guyenne Electoral College. The reputation of the wines produced here is very old. In 1850, Charles Cocks, a scholar at the University of France published a book titled: “Bordeaux, its region and its wines”. The book listed the major Gironde wines and Château Guiteronde du Hayot was cited among the best Bordeaux white wines.
The vineyard lies in the heart of Haut-Barsac over 25 hectares on a superb clay and limestone soil; it is planted with a combination of 90% Sémillon, 9% Sauvignon and 1% Muscadelle.
