The winery is located in the municipality of Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). During the turmoil of the French Revolution, the then owner Marguerite-Elie Guadet (1758-1794) was executed on the scaffold; his portrait is now on the label. However, the estate remained in the family and was only sold to the ancestors of the current owner Guy-Petrus Lignac in 1844. From 1844 to 2004, it was known as Château Guadet-Saint-Julien. This sometimes led to confusion, as it had nothing to do with the famous Médoc commune of Saint-Julien. It was therefore renamed in 2005. The estate, which was declassified in 2006, was reclassified as a Grand Cru Classé in 2012. The vineyards cover six hectares and are planted with Merlot (75%) and Cabernet Franc (25%). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 16 to 18 months in barriques, 50% of which are new.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
