The name of the domain comes from from a lieu-dit, Mont Pertuis, neighbouring the famous La Crau.
The Jeune family have deep roots in Chateauneuf du Pape and have been wine growers in the town for seven generations.

Vignobles Paul Jeune today covers 45 ha. in three appellations. 17 ha. are situated in AOC Chateauneuf du Pape divided in 18 parcels. 1/3 of the vines are quite old - from 60 to 130 years old. 20% of the grapes are white varieties and thus the domain is an important producer of white wines from the appellation. 

In the 1995 a property in Cotes du Rhone/Vin du Pays du Gard covering 13 ha. was purchased. From here wines called la Ramiere are made.

Since 2000 the well known oenolog Philippe Cambie has been advising  at the domain.

For this cuvée all the grapes are destemmed before fermentation and goes through a macerations period for 20 to 30 days.
The wine is aged for a period in cement tank and then in foudres or barriques.

This Cuvée is made only in good vintages and has from 2006 been named Secret de Gabriel in stead of Tradition.
