True Excellence in Beautiful Bordeaux

Château d’Eyran is nestled in Saint Médard d’Eyrans, near Bordeaux, within the prestigious Pessac Léognan appellation. Spanning 25 hectares, this estate has been in the capable hands of the De Sèze family since the 16th century, producing remarkable Bordeaux wines that reflect the region's rich heritage.

Rich History Dating Back to the 17th Century

The tradition of winemaking at Château d’Eyran began in the 17th century when it was originally a medieval fortress. The estate was acquired by the De Sèze family, who have maintained its legacy. Today, Stéphane Savigneux and his son Charles manage the winery, alongside Château Bastian, which has roots as an Abbey of the Rivet from the 14th century. Located on the Left Bank of the Garonne River, approximately 40 km southeast of Bordeaux, the estate has been cultivating wines with precision since 1984.

Artisan Winemaking at Château d’Eyran

Château d’Eyran carefully selects and plants various grape varieties, benefiting from unique soil conditions enriched with sand from the Garonne River. This distinctive terroir, combined with a clay-limestone foundation, allows for precise grape selection, resulting in wines with pure flavors. Each grape bunch is handpicked, processed, and aged in new barrels, typically composed of one-third new oak, for about 12 months. The wines exhibit a range of characteristics, from slightly austere to herbaceous, and some offer a delightful sweetness with a lingering finish. The estate produces over 130,000 bottles in the Pessac Léognan appellation and 60,000 in the Bordeaux appellation, showcasing the diversity and quality of their offerings.

The tour was amazing. It was far more worth it than what me and my friend paid for. The guide was very professional and the explanation was very detailed. She was also very happy to answer any questions that we had and let us try so many different kinds of wine that we were interested in learning about. And their rose wine was the best rose that I've ever tasted! I would definitely recommend this place :)

The tour was great! I have to go with my girlfriend to a lot of Wine Châteaus, not often is everything from the wine making process explained so well.

We were pleasantly surprised by our visit to Eyran Castle. As we are rather novices, we were able to get into the world of wine thanks to Magaly's very good advice. We discovered the different grape varieties and appellations as well as the processes used to make the wines offered by the estate. We particularly enjoyed the tasting, which was accompanied by explanations that allowed us to better appreciate what we were drinking. We were won over by the estate, the visit and the quality of the wines. We recommend it without hesitation. Caroline and Mathieu

This visit to Château d'Eyran is a great discovery! We loved the place. The visit to the vineyards was absolutely fascinating and our very competent guide was able to share his passion for wine with us. His explanations were clear and enriching and allowed us to understand all the secrets of viticulture. We highly recommend this experience to all wine and history lovers. A visit not to be missed!

Very pleasant surprise! We had a guided tour and a tasting of different wines with Magaly, a very friendly, smiling, educational person who adapts to visitors (since she is not a great connoisseur). You can go there with your eyes closed and I highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed! Thanks again to Magaly! *Reservation via Smartbox
