About this winery
The history of Château Guibeau is romantic. Henri Emile, the ancestor of the family, moved to Puisseguin to breathe the fresh air. There he met Yvette, whose family owned Château Guibot La Fourvieille, and acquired Château Guibeau in 1936. Their marriage united the two properties. Henri, their son, will take care of the vineyard until 2009, then Brigitte takes over the vineyard until today.
