The first known records of the estate were found in the library at Saintes. They are dated 1564 and entitled 'A Description of the Genealogy of Orignac', they are drawn up by Jean Le Fourestier, squire and nobleman. These gave access to the history of the estate as far back as the year 1200, when Ythier d'Orignac, horseman and squire of the neighbourhood, married Sybille, daughter of Hélies, squire of Virollet. In 1900, Monsieur Gros bought the property and gave it to his daughter Hélène, at the time of her marriage to Hubert Meyer, who have been living there ever since developing the agricultural and viticultural production, notably Pineau de Charente and Cognac, which have been the traditional output of the estate for centuries. Today, their children and grand children are actively involved in carrying on the traditions of the Château in making Orignac a lively and productive family estate.
