The Estate in Pictures

Explore the estate

Located in the heart of the Médoc, in the town of Le Pian-Médoc, the Château des Bloys estate spans 110 hectares of unspoiled natural landscape, including meadows, forests, and vineyards.

35 hectares of vineyards

Surrounding the château are 35 hectares of vineyards planted with the same grape varieties as in the Haut-Médoc: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a touch of Petit Verdot. These vineyards surround the estate and provide a striking setting for walks, wedding photos, and moments of contemplation.

The Centennial Fish Ponds

At the heart of the park, century-old fishponds form a lush green setting of rare beauty, now a refuge for frogs, fish, and dragonflies. This exceptional feature in the Bordeaux region is what gives this property its charm and character.

The terrace and the park

Spacious and elegant, the château’s terrace offers a breathtaking view of the fishponds and the park: a naturally majestic setting for your breakfasts, pre-dinner drinks, or al fresco dinners. The estate is perfectly suited for private stays with family or friends, in a timeless setting ideal for recharging your batteries and exploring the Bordeaux region.


Heritage

The History of the Castle

16th century
Château des Bloys is one of the oldest wine estates in the Médoc. Its first known owner was Nicolas de Bloys, a spirited squire and husband of Jeanne Fleix, who planted the estate’s first vines in the 16th century. Originally a barony, the estate’s history has been intertwined with the nobility and viticulture from its very beginnings.
In the 18th century, the château was purchased by Joseph-Ignace de Chatard, a counselor to the Parliament of Bordeaux, who sold it in 1746 to his nephew Jean-Louis Baour, the future mayor of Pian-Médoc, who undertook the construction of new buildings. It was during this period that the estate took on the elegant silhouette we know today.
In 1874, the property was described in Édouard Féret’s *Statistique générale de la Gironde* as “formerly the seat of a barony, surrounded by a 160-hectare estate featuring a wide variety of terrain.” By the mid-19th century, the vineyard was already producing the equivalent of 100,000 bottles per year. In 1860, the Count of Guigné acquired the estate, and his family remained its owners for 139 years.
It was not until Charles de Guigné arrived in 1974 that the vineyard truly came back to life: he rebuilt it in the purest Médoc tradition. In 1999, the château was acquired by Lorraine Cordier, who also owns Château Talbot, a Saint-Julien Grand Cru Classé.
Since 2011, the fifth generation of the Bignon-Cordier family has been breathing new life into the estate by developing wine tourism and hosting private stays. After four years of meticulous renovation, the château reopened its doors in 2024 to welcome guests year-round, offering a unique experience in the heart of the Médoc.
