The property is one of the biggest in Chateauneuf du Pape. It has 160 ha. 95 ha. is planted with vines. The first record of the name of the chateau dates back to 1334: "Mourredon". The latin name muntem retundum (the round mountain) became in provencal Mourredon and later Mont Redon.

The owners today are the 3^th generation at the property since 1923. That year a forefather of the two families Henri Plantin acquiered the place mostly covering woodland. At that time the vineyards covered only 2,5 ha. Plantin changed the woods into vineyards and bought more vineyards.
Two daughters of Plantin married an Abeille and a Fabre and in this way the two family names appeared on the domain.

Today the domain covers 174 ha of which 100 ha. is in AOC Chteauneuf du Pape.
In 1980 30 ha. in AOC Cotes du Rhone were purchased and in 1997 a property in Roquemaure - the Lirac appellation - with 21 ha.
340.000-360.000 bottles of red Chateauneuf du Pape and 100.000-110.000 bottles of white Chateauneuf du Pape are produced each vintage. This means that the production of white wine is relatively big. 

The 4^th generation is ready to continue. Two sons of the owners work at the domain. Pierre Fabre is responsible for the work in the cellar and Yann Abeille is responsible for the work in the vineyards. A sister and two brothers, Christine Fabre, Jerome and Patrick Abeille have so far other jobs more or less related to the wine business.
