Chateau Sigalas Rabaud takes its name from two original owners the Rabaud family, who owned the estate
prior to 1660 and  the Sigalas family, who purchased the estate in 1864.  In 1903, the Sigalas family renamed the estate, Château Rabaudet, Sigalas Rabaud .

That same year, the son of Henri Sigalas sold part of their vineyards to Adrien Promis, who created Chateau Rabaud Promis. In 1929 the same properties once again became part of the original estate. That arrangement lasted until 1949 when the portion that was previously known as Promis was sold to Raymond Louis Lanneluc. The established company, Domaine Cordier, first took an interest in Sigalas Rabaud in 1972 before buying a stake in the vineyards in 1994.

Today, the 34.6 acre Bordeaux wine vineyard, located in the commune of Bomme, is planted to 85% Semillon and 15% Sauvignon Blanc.  The smallest classified growth in Sauternes, the terroir consists of silica, gravel and clay. The wines are aged in 30% new oak for a minimum of 18 months. On average, the estates produces close to 2,500 cases of Bordeaux wine per year.  There is a second wine Le Cadet Sigalas.
