Château Guadet is located in Saint-Emilion , on the right bank of Bordeaux . In 1844, the Lignac family purchased Domaine Saint Julien, owned by the Guadet family. The family estate officially became Château Guadet under the influence of Guy-Petrus Lignac who returned to the estate after two years at the oenology institute and a career in the industry. He began by treating the vineyard according to the principles of organic farming in 2008 and obtained certification in 2013 . His son, Vincent Lignac , joined him in 2009 after several years abroad: the United States, Chile, Spain and Australia. He decided to move towards biodynamics , also certified since 2015 .
