Château Tour de Guiet A success story to tell: "Son of a crop farmer from the north of France, I am an agricultural engineer. After my studies, I have my first professional experience in the USA in the marketing and sales of French farm equipment. Following this international experience, I decide to produce my own wines to market them all over the world. My choice is Bordeaux for its international reputation. At 25 years old, I don't know much about wine, but I know that I could make a success of it…July 1992, I buy Château LA BRETONNIERE in Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux and Château TOUR DE GUIET in Côtes de Bourg. In 2008, I finally meet a TOP specialist, Mr. Christian Prud'homme, former manager of a First Classified Growth of PAUILLAC. Thanks to his KNOW-HOW to improve the quality of my wines. With him, I make my wines as naturally as possible. Fermentations are now made from indigenous yeasts. I make and bottle them according to the lunar cycles.
