Château Sigognac is a 47 hectare wine estate on the edge of Saint Yzans de Médoc, in the Gironde, growing on the clay sandy and clay limestone soils typical of the Médoc region. The property has a turbulent past, having expanded in the 1920s before being devastated by the 1956 frosts and gradually rebuilt from 1964 onward. It is now run by the Allard family and produces red and white wines under the Médoc appellation.
