The Libéral family settled on this estate in the 1700s, and by the 1800s, the estate's reputation was quite good, enough so that the estate was classified Cinquième Cru Classé in Bordeaux's Classification of 1855. Today the estate has three vineyards; the largest is adjacent to Château Latour, with a smaller plot adjacent to Château Pichon-Lalande close to the Gironde and a third further inland. The presence of limestone in the vineyard brings a touch of freshness and minerality to the style of the wines, making them unique within the Pauillac appellation.
