Château Sigalas-Rabaud

Producer description of "Château Sigalas Rabaud"

The winery is located in the municipality of Bommes in the Sauternes region (Graves, Bordeaux). A Madame Marie Peyronne de Rabaud brought the Château Rabaud as a dowry when she married Arnaud de Cazeau in 1660. After more than 150 years, it was acquired by Gabriel Deyme in 1819, who sold it to Henri Drouilhet de Sigalas in 1864. In the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, the estate was classified as a Premier Cru Classé (Sauternes) under the name Château Rabaud. Henri subsequently also bought the former Château Pexoto and integrated the areas of this estate, which was classified as Deuxième Cru Classé, into Château Rabaud, which nevertheless retained its status as Premier Cru Classé. However, his son Pierre Drouilhet de Sigalas parted with part of the estate in 1903 and sold it to Adrien Promis. The latter named his new property Château Rabaud-Promis.
