The domain is situated at an altitude of 400 m on a route going out from D90, South of
Suzette.
In the Middle Ages the place was a fortified stronghold
belonging to lords. It was destroyed in the 18th century and from the ruins
raised a provencal farm.
In 1956 the place was purchased by Etienne de Menthon, who planted vines
in suitable fields. A cellar was established in 1981.
Today the responsibility is in hands of his two daughters Sabine and Isabelle.
