Château Guiraud
Financière Guiraud is the holding company of Château Guiraud – the producer of a Sauternes wine designated as a “Premier Grand Cru Classé en 1855” (a prestigious grand cru included in the 1855 Bordeaux Wine Classification established at the request of Napoleon III).
The 128-hectare Château Guiraud estate contains 99 hectares of vineyards. Production levels vary depending on the vintage, but on average 300,000 bottles are produced per year, split between Château Guiraud Sauternes premier cru and deuxième cru and dry white wine (Grand Vin blanc sec and G de Guiraud). Peugeot Invest and its partners are steering Château Guiraud towards the very best quality and are building up its sales and marketing reach, particularly outside France, to embed its reputation for excellence among leading international connoisseurs.

In 2025
Activity levels were stable in 2025, with revenue of €2.4 million compared with €2.5 million in 2024. This resilient performance was achieved despite a more-than 10% decrease in sales of deliverable wines during the year as the trade for Bordeaux wines remained flat. Revenue held firm thanks to shipments of the 2022 primeur wines and the growth of direct sales through partner companies and newly acquired clients. The 2025 vintage looks set to be exceptional, both in terms of quality and yield, with yields reaching 15 HL/HA for dessert wines compared with a ten-year average of 10 HL/HA.
