The first owners of the Chateau were the descendants of the Counts of Armagnac, the Chevaliers d'Aux. They can be traced back as early as 1632. Seized as a National property during the fourth year of the revolution, it was changed into a stagecoach post; hence the stagecoach on the label. The coaches were better known in the Medoc as "pataches".
