The grandfather of Christophe Valat went shortly after World War I to Algerie and became a wine merchant there. His son André later jointed him there but in 1960 they went back to France. In the late Sixties Andre Valat decided to settle down in the area from where the family had its roots. He then acquired Chateau Saint Maurice. After finishing wine school his son Christophe joined him in the firm in 1982, and from 1993 he has been in charge of the property. At that time he acquired a property in Roquemaure with 12 ha. Lirac and Cotes du Rhone, Chateau Boucarut. The total area of Chateau Saint Maurice is 115 ha, with the main holdings in Cotes du Rhone Village Laudun (Chateau Saint Maurice) and Vin du Pays du Gard (Domaine du Nizon)
