The oldest parts of the Chateau date back to the 12th century. The property has been owned by the Durand family since 1870. The Durands and a small group of wine growers helped to found the Pic Saint Loup appellation with an aim to produce quality wine in the region.

Pic Saint Loup is the most famous and northernmost appellation in the Languedoc Roussillon. The vines here have adapted to the summer drought and the wines produced are aromatic and complex.
