歷史的由來得追溯到15世紀時，有一位詩人Francois Villon曾將此城堡的歷史及事蹟紀錄在她的詩集裏，此部份後來被印製在酒的前標上，成為其獨特的記號。其後酒莊由Berthon先生買下接手，在後來的30年裡皆由其女婿Roger Capdemourlin經營，此後這片產業便歸屬於Capdemourlin家族。Capdemourlin家族座落於Saint Emilion達五世紀之久，近10年以來酒的經營管理皆落在Roger之子Jacques Capdemourlin先生的肩上管理釀造。
◆<酒標上的詩>： Villon’s poem Virgin Mary, gentle deity, Save me a place in sweet heaven: Never shall I have joy nor gaiety Here below, since is forbidden to drink the divine nectar Whose name is Balestard, Except in this life for the wealthy. As I am so poor and needy, If truly on high this wine is in plenty, Come, soft death, I do not fear thee, Bring me up there among the fortunate Who can this vintage taste. François Villon (1421-1485)
