The property was originally called the Seigneury of Lapelouze. In the late 1600s, it was acquired b Jean de Cambon-Lapelouze. During the French Revolution, the estate was seized as a national property but unlike most other Chateaux, the property was returned. Jean Pierre Marie purchased the property in the late 1990's. In 2019, the winery was sold to Treasury Wine Estates. They own many large scale properties such as Beringer, Penfolds and Chateau St. Jean.

The 60 hectare Haut Medoc vineyard of Chateau Cambon La Pelouse is planted to 52% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot. The vineyard has an excellent location near Chateau Cantemerle and Chateau Giscours just outside of the Margaux Appellation.
