Now Viewing: Chateau Guiraud
Chateau Guiraud was known as ""Bayle" in the 19th century, the origin of the name rather vague. The earliest recorded proprietors were the " "Essenhault" family and when their domaine was partitioned in 1729, the Bayle parcel fell into the hands of the "de Mons". The estate was then acquired by " Pierre Guiraut" who lent his name to the vineyard and it was his grandson by the same name who sold it to a consortium entitled "Depons and Co." in 1846. In the 1855 Classification, Chateau Guiraud was declared a Premier Cru but just three years later the estate was resold to a bon-viveur by the name of Félix Solar.
