Château Nairac history starts 1777 when Elysée Nairac buys a vineyard of Elizabeth Prost. Elysée Nairac started to improve the buildings and build a castle, surrounded by a beautiful garden, designed by architect Jean Mollié. Elysée managed the palace until his death in 1791; when the castle was inherit of his five daughters. 1837 the family were forced to sell the castle to Bernard Capdeville of Chateau Broustet, who succeed to get the Château Nairac classified 1855.

1861 Bernard Capdeville died and the castle had for many years a number of owners. The maintenance was neglected, and the property went against a decline. Not until Tom Heet comes into the picture in 1971, it will be a major change. In the three years he and Nicole Tari succeed to make the castle habitable, renovate buildings and wine production. With the help of Professor Emile Peynaud they also improve the wine's quality dramatically.
Today Nicole Taris son Nicolas Heeter manages the castle on with their ardent passion for Sauternes and Barsac.

The Vineyard today currently includes 16 hectares, gravel and limestone, overgrown with 90% Semillon, Sauvignon 6% and 4% Muscadelle.

During the harvest the grapes are pressed in vertical press and juice is drain into the tank. Here it stops for a day and then pour over in barrels, for a very slow fermentation. After fermentation the wine ages up to 30 months in oaks. When the wine is aged it is drained in to bottle as grand wine Château Nairac.

Château Nairac today produces a second wine under the name of Esquisse.
