LThe Château Fort de la Seigneurie de Chelivette stood in the 13th century, where the wine cellars are now located.
On the Estate, we can now see the Château, remodeled at the end of the 16th century for Pierre de Seurin, advisor to Parliament.
In the garden, the Chapel bears on its pediment the date 1620 and the inscription "Introite portas ejus in confessionne" a biblical psalm meaning "Enter these doors with praise" evoking celestial music as in Mozart's "Jubilate".
On the hillside we discover a semaphore created in 1791 to serve as a relay for Claude Chappe's visual telegraph based on an optical transmission system by articulated arm machine. In 1794 the surrender of the Prince of Condé passed through this square Tower. An imposing circular dovecote with nearly 1300 dowels completes the Estate.
By judgment of the Parliament of Rennes in 1656, all of the wine produced on the Seigneurie of Chelivette was granted to the Canons of the Jesuit College of Bordeaux who owned it between 1626 and 1764, when it was transferred to the College of Guyenne.
The 1929 edition of "Cocks and Ferret's Bordeaux Wines" mentioned the estate in these terms:
"The vineyard, located on a well-exposed hillside, produces highly sought-after wines which have won several medals at exhibitions." It then extended over 20 hectares.
