Jean Laclotte, a famous architect of the time, built Picque Caillou in 1756. Later on, his son Etienne Laclotte made it his summer residence to take advantage of the warmth and mildness of the gentle Aquitaine climate. Etienne Laclotte died in 1812. Successive owners took little care of the vineyard until the property was bought in 1947 by Etienne Denis, a Bordeaux entrepreneur based in Indo-China, who entrusted the vineyard to competent estate managers. After the property had passed into the hands of his son, Alphonse Denis, it was his grand-daughter Isabelle, along with her husband Paulin Calvet, who became the owners in 1997.
