In 1895, Jacques Mondon, a lawyer in Pauillac, acquired several vineyards in the parish of Cissac-Médoc. He combined these different vineyards under the name of Château Cissac. In 1940, Louis Vialard inherited the property from his grand-parents Mondon and he set about the task of restoring the vineyards and the out-buildings as well as the family home. The Château is of a particular architectural style, a "chartreuse" of the 18th century and is probably on the site of a roman villa.
