The domain is situated at a historic place. The Cathars Chateau Derboux was situated here but was destroyed in 1228. Remains can be found in the fields.
Isabelle and Arnaud Guichard run the property from 1988 until 2017, when they sold the property to the founder of Didier Perréol.  
In 2017 and 2018 the grapes were sold and no wine was bottled on the domain.
In addition to the 30 hectares that belonged to the domain before the purchase Perréol has bought another 15 ha.
In 2019 Laurence Goudal was hired as manager, and from 2019 a part of the harvest - possible to be vinified in the old cellar - will be bottled at the domain.
It's planned to build a new and larger cellar as soon as possible, So far a new caveau has been established.
The vineyards of the Guichard has been certified agriculture biologique since 2011 and since 2013 as biodynamique.
