The château also produces a second wine named l'Hospitalet de Gazin.
Originally a farm belonging to the Knights Hospitallers of St. John in the Middle Ages, it was bought in 1772 by the Feuilhade family, one of the pioneers of the local viticultural revolution, when production of quality wine was favoured over cultivating cereal, according to Professor Henri Enjalbert.[2][3]
The estate became the property of the Bailliencourt dit Courcols family in 1918, who remains the owners to date.[2][3] The present proprietors are Nicolas, Christophe, Laure et Inès de Bailliencourt dit Courcol, with Mickaël Obert as winemaker.[3]
