Château de Pez was founded in the 15th century by the same family who created Haut-Brion. Château de Pez was owned by descendants of the Pontac family until the French Revolution, when it was taken over by the state and sold off to new owners. Several families bought and sold the estate over the following centuries, and in 1995 it was purchased by the Champagne House Louis Roederer. Today there are 64 vineyard acres planted to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
