Since 1793 the Vialard family have been closely linked to the Haut-Médoc, as winemakers for two of the Châteaux that would become two of the greatest First Growths, namely that of Chateau Latour & Chateau Lafite. By 1885 they had established themselves at Château Cissac near Pauillac producing Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, later, the purchase of two other Crus Bourgeois, Château du Breuil and Château Abiet.
In 1969 in order to compete in an evolving wine market Mr Louis Vialard founded a seperate Bordeaux Wine Trading Company LOUIS VIALARD S.A.S. Integration into the global wine business and the development of new markets has seen LOUIS VIALARD S.A.S. move into Languedoc-Roussillon trading as well as Bordeaux.
