Château Balac stands in Saint-Laurent-Médoc (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the Haut-Médoc region, at Saint-Laurent-Médoc, Château Balac is a family-run wine estate built around a chartreuse-style manor dating from 1776, on grounds already known as a noble estate in the 14th century. The elongated building, flanked by two square towers and fronted by a horseshoe staircase, is visited as part of a tour of the vineyard and its wine cellar. The whole property, enclosed by walls with cellars to the west and former workers' lodgings to the east, retains the layout of an 18th-century wine estate.
