Situated in Saint Seurin de Cadourne, close to Saint -Estèphe, the chateau takes its name from the Tronquoy de Lalande family, who lived here in the 19th century, and did much to build the renown of the wine.

The chateau was designed by Victor Louis (1731-1800), architect of Bordeaux's Grand Theatre and the arcades of the Palais Royal in Paris. The traditional Louis XV1 style of Bel Orme is exemplified by a rare circular reception room within the chateau. Paul Quie, a wine merchant from Bercy (the centre of the Parisian wine trade at the time) followed his father in the wine trade, and bought the property in 1936 as a gift for his wife. The building became once more a family home.

Since 1968, his son Jean Michel has been running the estate. He is assisted today by his children and Jean Philippe Coudoin, vineyard manager.
