Paul Guillet

Career Since 2023, winemaking at Château Mazerolles in Saint-Martin-Lacaussade, France, has been Paul Guillet’s remit. The brief is grounded in the Blaye region’s terroirs and landscapes, which he names as the setting for the work rather than the backdrop.

Signature

Blend work sits at the center of the cellar. Paul Guillet works with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec, and also makes white wines. At Château Mazerolles, the clay terroirs overlooking the estuary are part of the equation he points to for a wine with structure.

At a Glance “The clay terroirs overlooking the estuary produce a well-structured wine which makes consumers happy.” That is the clearest summary of Guillet’s method: read the site, build the blend, and let the result carry structure.

In Their Words “As a new winemaker, I fell under the spell of the Blaye region and its splendid terroirs and landscapes.” “The clay terroirs overlooking the estuary produce a well-structured wine which makes consumers happy.”
