A rich merchant who made his fortune in this Caribbean island acquired this property at the end of the XVIIIth century and he named it in memory of this successful period of his life.

It featured in the first editions of "Bordeaux and its Wines" published by edition Féret. Mr Fayat bought the property in 1969. He set about major works in the vineyards and in the cellars to bring about the high standing of the Chateau today.
