Lhe Château Fort de la Seigneurie de Chelivette stood in the 13th century, where the winemaking cellars are now located.
On the estate, we can now see the Château, which was reworked at the end of the 16th century, for Pierre de Seurin, adviser to Parliament.
In the garden, the Chapel bears on its pediment the date 1620 and the inscription "Introite portas ejus in confessionne" 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 machine with articulated arms. In 1794 the surrender of the Prince of Condé passed through this Square Tower. An imposing circular dovecote with nearly 1300 boules completes the Domaine.
By judgment of the Parliament of Rennes in 1656, all of the wine produced on the Seigneurie de Chelivette was granted to the Canons of the College of the Jesuits of Bordeaux who were owners between 1626 and 1764, when it was transmitted to the College of Guyenne.
The 1929 edition of "Vins de Bordeaux de Cocks et Ferret" 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 the exhibitions". This then extended over 20 hectares.
