For 15 years Jérôme Gradassi has worked as a one Michelin star chef in his own restaurant in Avignon.In this was a very stressful job in the kitchen and with all the other things demanded of an owner of a small restaurant. He decided then to return to a more simple life and now he makes wine from the vineyards of his grand father's, Alphonse Mayard.

The property covers 3,3 hectares mainly with old Grenache vines. The first vintage from Jérôme Gradassi was 2004. since 2005 a small amount (around 400 bottles) of white wine has been made.
