The vineyard is located in the commune of Saint-Estèphe in the area of the same name in the Médoc (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux). The name means "rose-coloured mountain" and is derived from the colour of the iron-rich soil. Its origins date back to 1778, when the Ségur family sold land to Etienne Théodore Dumoulin. His son Etienne Dumoulin began building the château in 1815 and planted vineyards at the same time. The Dumoulin family remained the owners until 1866 when, after several changes of ownership, the estate was bought by Louis Charmolüe in 1896 and subsequently managed by Jean-Louis Charmolüe. In 2006, it was acquired by the Bouygues brothers (telecommunications, building and civil engineering). In the 1855 Bordeaux classification, the estate was awarded second place (Deuxième Grand Cru Classé).
